"Dunn Browne" was a pseudonym for Samuel Fisk (1828-1864), b. Shelburne, Massachusetts, d. Fredericksburg, Virginia. A graduate of Amherst College (1848), Andover Theological Seminary (1852), was tutor at Amherst (1852-1855), then traveled a year in Europe and the East, returning to become the pastor of the Congregational Church at Madison, Connecticut. At the outbreak of the American Civil War he entered the Union Army as a private in the 14th Connecticut Regiment, and quickly rose to the rank of Captain. He was fatally wounded while leading his Company in the second day of the Battle of the Wilderness.
