Daniel Bradford Devore

Daniel Bradford Devore (May 14, 1860 – March 10, 1956) was a United States Army officer in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

After serving from 1891 to 1892 as an aide to Major General David S. Stanley, Devore taught mathematics at the U.S. Military Academy from 1892 to 1897.

Between 1897 and 1898, he served on special duty for the United States Secretary of War, purchasing 538 reindeer in Norway and transporting 537 of them to Seattle in order to be used in Alaska.

After his temporary promotion to the rank of brigadier general on August 5, 1917, he called the Illinois National Guard into service and commanded the 167th Infantry Brigade in France between September and December 1918.

Though retiring on April 5, 1922,[2] as a colonel, Devore had his brigadier general rank restored by Congress in June 1930.
