Henry Morris Naglee (January 15, 1815 – March 5, 1886) was an American military officer and vintner. He served as a captain in the Mexican-American War, as commanding officer of the California Guards and as a brigadier general in the Union army during the American Civil War. He established a successful vineyard and distilled a brandy named Naglia which earned him a reputation as the "Father of Californian brandy". After his death, his 140 acre estate and vineyards became the Naglee Park neighborhood of San Jose, California.[1][2]
