In early June of 1862, Major General Henry W. Halleck sought to give his forces every way to take advantage of enemy movements in the Western Theater. He did this by dividing his forces as follows:* General US Grant headed the Army of the Tennessee; * General Don Carlos Buell headed the Army of the Ohio; and * General John Pope headed the Army of the Mississippi.
I've found references to three people of that name or similar. Since one of the questions was asking what army he was a General in, I'm inclined to believe that the person in question is John Gowans, who was not a general in any military force, but held the position of General of the Salvation Army 1999 - 2002. He did, however, serve in the British Army for two years - not long enough to achieve any General rank.I see mention of a John Curtis Gowan, whose biography shows no military service. The closest thing he has is that he taught at Culver Military Academy.There's also a John Hunter Gowan II, who was a loyalist in Ireland and was appointed head of a yeomanry corps (it has a law enforcement role), but no indication of military service in his biography.
