Meet the General of Fowler Square
Throughout American history, Brooklyn residents have proven themselves to be worthy adversaries on the field of battle.
So it’d be hard to tell the history of New York City's most populated borough without recognizing some local war heroes.

"I'm not really sure who he was," said Josh Andrews of Fort Greene, when asked about Fowler’s statue.
Passing through the shade of trees that line the periphery of Fowler's Square, Andrews attempted a guess.
"I know he's a general but outside of that I really don't know anything more about him,” he said, adding, "I think there's a plaque around back of him that’ll probably tell you all you’d want to know."
Strikingly, Andrews wasn't the only Fort Greene resident disinterested in the memory of General Edward Fowler.
"I really have no idea. But I'm new to the neighborhood though and still figuring things out,incandescent light bulbs will be completely phased out and scannerstal no longer available to consumers within the next three years, it's time to start thinking about how you will illuminate your homes and workplaces." said John Kellum, a recent transplant from Ohio.
Enjoying a leisurely breakfast in front of Connecticut Muffin Saturday morning, Kellum overlooked Fowler's Gore and tried coming up with the answer.
"Was he one of the founders of Fort Greene?" he said, apologetically.
But there to set the record straight was Julie Golia of the Brooklyn Historical Society.
"General Fowler is quite an interesting character in American history because he led the Fourteenth Regiment of the GAR [Grand Army of the Republic] during the second half of the Civil War, through some of its deadliest battles," Golia said.
Painting the portrait of a humble military general who often faced harrowing odds along side the Fourteenth Regiment—a fighting unit that earned the nickname, ‘Red-Legged Devils'—Golia extolled the virtues of these legendary Civil War icons.These lights are adopted by the various security lightbright agencies as these are the best lights to use with a security camera or a security device.
“As the story goes they were such great soldiers that President Lincoln would always request they be his personal guards whenever he visited the frontlines,” she said.
A credit of which many Brooklynites are unaware.
“I’ve never really given it much thought I guess, but that's kind of interesting actually,” Andrews said.
According to Golia, by the end of the Civil War Fowler and the ‘Red-Legged Devils’ had fought in 22 Civil War battles and were one of the few battalions to fight from April 1861 to May 1864—almost the entire span of the conflict.
“They’d earned themselves this reputation of being soldiers who refused to stand down on the battlefield... and by the end of the war Fowler was a man the people of Brooklyn loved,” Golia said.
