Samuel F. Tappan at AllExperts (2518 words) |
 | Tappan, a native of Manchester, Massachusetts near Boston was a member of the prominent New England Tappan family which included clergymen, politicians, merchants, sea captains, cabinet-makers, inventors, poets, philanthropists, educators, and abolitionists. |
| Tappan's actions that day were eventually overshadowed by the later success of the one-third of Slough's command which had bypassed the Confederate lines and attacked and destroyed the enemy wagon train and supplies in their rear near Johnson's Ranch. |
| Tappan was later appointed by President {{Andrew Johnson}} in July 1867, pursuant to an act of the US Congress, to serve as a member of the {{Indian Peace Commission}} along with Generals {{William Tecumseh Sherman}}, {{William S. Harney}}, {{Alfred H. Terry}}, and C.C. Augur and several prominent civilians. |
