Edward Brush Fowler, a distant relative, was an officer in the Union Army during the American Civil War. He is best known for his command of the 14th Brooklyn Regiment and a demi-brigade during the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863. When the Civil War broke out, he was commander of the 14th Brooklyn, which was stationed in Fort Greene Park. They were deployed to action at the Battle of Bull Run, where their red pants and their fierceness earned them the nickname the Red-Legged Devils. To this day, there is a statue of him in Fowler Square, Fort Greene, Brooklyn.
