George Hampden Crosman (November 2, 1799 – May 28, 1882) was a career officer in the Regular Army of the United States who served primarily with the Quartermaster Corps.

[2] Crosman participated in General Atkinson's expedition up the Missouri River in 1825 and served in the Black Hawk War of 1832.

Subsequently, camels were successfully used in several minor army expeditions in the desert regions of the Southwestern United States in the 1840s and 1850s.

Although his duties did not typically require him to be in the line of fire, he was nonetheless awarded the brevet rank of major during the Battle of Palo Alto "for gallant and meritorious service" when the supply train of which he was in charge came under attack.

[9] On April 11, 1866, after Crosman's retirement, President Andrew Johnson nominated Crosman for the award of the honorary grade of brevet major general, U.S.A., (Regular Army), to rank from March 13, 1865, for faithful and meritorious services during the war,[10] and the U.S. Senate confirmed the award on April 16, 1867.

[11] On the day following the confirmation of his award of the grade of brevet brigadier general, July 26, 1866, Crosman resigned from active service in the army.

The George H. Crosman United States Army Reserve Center in Taunton, Massachusetts, was named for him.
