Morgan Lewis Smith (March 8, 1822 – December 29, 1874) was a Union brigadier general in the American Civil War
He led his division in the battle of Chattanooga, and in the following year’s Atlanta Campaign. During the Battle of Atlanta he temporarily commanded the XV Corps when John A. Logan assumed command of the Army of the Tennessee after James B. McPherson’s death. He returned to command his division at the battle of Ezra Church but was soon forced to leave active field command due to complications from his wound received at Chickasaw Bluffs.[3] Afterwards he was placed in charge of Vicksburg. General Sherman said of M.L. Smith, “He was one of the bravest men in action I ever knew.”
