Henry Morris Naglee (January 15, 1815 – March 5, 1886) was an American military officer and vintner.
After his death, his 140 acre estate and vineyards became the Naglee Park neighborhood of San Jose, California.
Posted in the 5th U.S. Infantry he resigned shortly after his graduation and worked as a civil engineer for railroad construction in Virginia and Alabama.
When President Polk granted a pardon to military and naval offenders acting in wartime, Naglee escaped punishment for this crime.
He built an estate and planted vineyards of Riesling and Charbono grapes, from which he distilled a clear brandy named Naglia.
While both praise and blame were given to the division, and Naglee, he wrote a number of reports and letters, increasing his role in the battle, that sparked great criticism and animosity.
[13] In 1877 his nanny Emily Hanks filed a lawsuit against Naglee, claiming he proposed marriage to her and then seduced her.
[12] Henry Naglee died of "neuralgia of the bowels" at the Occidental Hotel[4] in San Francisco on March 5, 1886,[14] and was interred in Laurel Hill Cemetery in Philadelphia.
