Robert E. Lee

Robert E. Lee was one of the small company of men in whom there was no inconsistency to be explained, no enigma to be solved. What he seemed, he was -- a wholly human gentleman, the essential elements of whose positive character were two and only two, simplicity and spirituality.

Stonewall Jackson

He is a mediocre teacher at the Virginia Military Institute and is fanatically religous.Jackson has a precise regard for discipline and army regulations. He is a man of contrasts so complete that he appears one day as a Presbyterian deacon and the next the reincarnation of Joshua. He lives by the New Testimaent and fights by the Old. He is 6 feet in height and weighing about 175 pounds. Jackson has blue eyes-brown beard and a commonplace somewhat rusty appearance. At wars beginning Jackson grows in importance until he becomes the hero of the drama and then in he abruptly fails in a climatic hour. Questions are raised whethr he can work in harmony with fellow officers. To his soldiers he is called "Stonewall" or "Old Blue Light" and later "Old Jack." After Lee joins him he develops incredibly and given by his brilliant obedience to orders the unqualified answer to the ugly questions asked after the Seven Days. Some say his death paved the way for Lee's defeat at Gettysburg.

James Longstreet

Stonewall Jackson's death has left him first in reputation among Lee's Lieutenants. He is beguiled by circumstances into thinking himself a strategist as well as an executive officer. He is blamed unjustly after the war for Lee's failure at Gettysburg. Sent to the Army of the Tennessee he is disillusioned and embittered. He breaks the Union line at Chickamauga. He flanks the Union army at the Wilderness where he is wounded. At the end, he stands next to Lee and says, "Genral, unless he offers us honorable terms, come back and let us figh it out."

A. P. Hill

Ambrose Powell Hill at age 35 proves that he has trained an excellent regiment and in his first battle proves his aggressiveness and excellent command of his brigade during the Seven Days Battles. He is promoted to the grade of Major General and begins to show certain explosive qualities. He shows an inabliity to cooperate. He quarreled with Longstreet which almost led to a duel. Transferred to Jackson's command; he immeditely created friction with Old Jack until Jackson's wounding at Chancelorsville. This important moment led to a moving reconcilliation. As Stonewall's successor of the "Light Brigade" A. P. Hill performed irregularly for the rest of the war. He was often in ill health as a corp commander. Always wearing his red hunting shirt into battle he was killed when Lee's line was broken at Petersburg.

John Bell Hood

Hood is a Kentuckain by birth but by choice he is a Texan. He develops amazingly as a commander and as an individual. On every batlefield where he can put his Texans in action he shines. He is blond and blue eyed. He suffers loss of limb and leg at Gettysburg and Chickamuga. He succeeds Joe Johnson as commander of the Army of the Tennesee in Georgia and demonstrates that as a strategist, he is inexperienced. He shatters his army at Franklin in a head long charge.

George Pickett

Pickett is wounded at Gaines Mill. While recuperating, his friend Longstreet sees to his promotion as Major General. With his return to the army at Fredericksburg he has little to do with that battle. At Gettysburg, his line of march brings him to the battle late but fresh. Lee orders a charge on the third day that makes Pickett's -ever the cavalier - name a rememberance for eternity. He appears again at the end of the war for his "Shad Bake" negligence at Five Forks where the outcome was the flanking and breaking of Lee's line at Petersburg. He becomes bitter and critical of Lee after the war.

At Fredericksburg, his dash and gallantry literally stops the Union assault resulting in Lee's famous comment about the glories of war. He is a tall, clear blond, who blushes red when he is praised. He was known as "Gallant Pelham". His death resulted in anguish throughout the South.

Many southerners see him as the reincarnation of one of Napoleon's marshals. His unrealistic views of warfare and logistics gets into trouble with President Davis which continues throughout the war. History does Beauregard injustice as to his qualities as an artillerist and engineer. His work in Charleston's siege was magnificent.

Braxton Bragg

During the battle of Shiloh he directed a corps and was later rewarded with promotion to full general. As such he relieved Beauregard when he went on sick leave and was then given permanent command in the West. Having served during the Corinth siege, he led the army into Kentucky and commanded at Perryville, where he employed only a portion of his force. On the last day of 1862 he launched a vicious attack on the Union left at Murfreesboro but failed to carry through his success. He was driven into Georgia during Rosecrans' Tullahoma Campaign and subsequent operations. In September he won the one major Confederate victory in the West, at Chickamauga, but failed to follow up his success. Instead he laid siege in Chattanooga. He had been engaged in a series of disputes with his subordinates especially Polk, Longstreet, and Hardee that severely injured the effectiveness of the Army of Tennessee. Several top officers left the army for other fields. With the army thus weakened, Bragg was routed at Chattanooga and was shortly removed from command.

Ben Cheatham

A Major General we find him on the field of Shiloh commanding the second division of the first corps under Leonidas Polk. At Perryville, Ky. it was Cheatham's division that opened the fight. Again at Murfreesboro his was one of the four divisions which drove the Federals back a distance of four miles. At the battle of Missionary Ridge, when the Confederate center had been broken, Cheatham threw his division across the path of the advancing Federals. At the battle of Kenesaw Mountain (June 27th), Cheatham's divisions inflicted upon the Federals their heaviest loss. On General Cheatham's personal appearance: "General Cheatham is squarely and firmly built, and is noted for his extraordinary physical strength. He is slightly round-shouldered, and his weight is about two hundred pounds. His height is about five feet eight inches; his eyes are light blue, clear and expressive; his hair, light brown; his complexion, fair; and his moustache--he wears no other beard--very heavy. His forehead is broad and his face expressive of that imperturbable good humor which characterizes him not more in social life than on the battlefield."

Patrick Cleburne

The first dividion of Hardee's corps was commanded by Patrick Cleburne. Cleburne would earn the reputation as the West's finest division leader. His division was a model of discipline, cleanliness, and competence under fire. Cleburne himself was an enigma. A former British soldier and Arkansas lawyer, he joined the Army as a private in 1861. by December 1862 he was a Major General. Cleburne had some mystical driving force, labeled by his enemies as ambition and by hes friends as sheer devotion to the cause. He was shy and tightlipped; not easy to know. He was killed leading his men at the Battle of Franklin.

Simon Bolivar Buckner

Initially in command in central Kentucky, Buckner later led a division from there to reinforce Fort Donelson. He directed the attempted breakout from the encircled post on February 15, 1862, but was called back by his superiors, John B. Floyd and Gideon J. Pillow. Both of them fled across the Cumberland River rather than surrender and left the task to Buckner. He was outraged by Grant's demand for unconditional surrender, but he was somewhat mollified by later developments. He had paid Grant's New York hotel bill when the future Union general was on his way home, having resigned from the army. Grant returned the favor in kind, knowing that Buckner would have difficulty obtaining funds as a prisoner-and put his purse at the disposal of the vanquished. Exchanged on August 27, 1862, Buckner was promoted to major general and led his division at Perryville before being ordered to take command along the Gulf coast. During the buildup prior to the battle of Chickamauga, Buckner reinforced Bragg and his command became a corps for the battle. Thereafter Buckner was one of the leading critics of Bragg's generalship. For this reason Bragg shunted Buckner back off to East Tennessee just before Chattanooga.

Albert Sydney Johnston

At the start of the Civil War Albert Sidney Johnston was almost universally considered to be the finest soldier, North or South, in the country. Jefferson Davis said of him, "I hoped and expected that I had others who would prove generals, but I knew I had one, and that was Sidney Johnson"  In early April of 1862 he struck at Grant's army in its camp at Shiloh. Attacking out of the woods early in the morning his force caught the Federals completely by surprise. Some momentum was lost when his raw recruits paused to loot the overrun Union encampments, but by late morning Johnston believed victory was his. "We are sweeping the field," he told Beauregard, "and I think we shall press them to the river." Shortly afterward he was hit in the leg by a Yankee bullet which severed his femoral artery. Having sent his surgeon to tend to group of wounded Federal prisoners, he bled to death for lack of appropriate medical attention.

He was referred to as "the quiet man." Few understood him. He was not in the least impressive, but somehow he took charge, subduing the disobedient without using anything but a hard look. The most people could say about Grant ws that he had a great deal of common sense. He was victorious at every cross road of the war...Vicksburg, Chattanooga, Richmond.

George McClellan

After the Union defeat at first Bull Run, Lincoln gave command of the Army of the Potomic to McClellan. It was McClellan's plan to take Richmond via the peninsula. There he displayed his characteristic of being over cautious; feering of his own personal failure he always called on the governement for more troops. He eventually was beaten by Lee during the Seven Days. McClellan again faced Lee at Antietam where his unwillingness to destroy Lee's army having beforehand Lee's battle plan caused Lincoln to replaced him. "Little Mac" also ran for president in 1864 but lost to Lincoln,

Ambrose Burnsides

Burnsides led a successful expedition against the North Carolina coast at Roanoke Island and New Bern. His success in that operation led to his being offered the command of the Army of the Potomic after McClellan's failure in the Peninsula Campaign. He refused the offer. Offered command of the army a second time following the disastrous conclusion of Second Bull Run; he again declined. Instead he was placed in charge of the 1st and 9th Corps, under McClellan during operations to contain Lee's offensive into Maryland. He fought at South Mountain and then at Antietam. Slow in pressing his attack across Antietam Creek, he stubbornly ordered piecemeal attack after piecemeal attack across a narrow stone bridge in the face of murderous Rebel fire. The bridge, henceforward known as Burnside's Bridge, finally fell when someone discovered that the shallow creek was easily forded downstream. The resulting hours of delay allowed A.P. Hill's division to arrive on the field in the nick of time to prevent a decisive Federal victory. When McClellan was removed again from command Burnside was finally prevailed upon to accept the overall command of the Army of the Potomac in his place. Attempting to steal a march on Lee, he moved rapidly to Fredericksburg, but was delayed there by the failure of the War Department to supply him with pontoons with which to cross the Rappahannock River. By the time they arrived Lee's army had concentrated on the heights overlooking the town. Failing to make any impression with a series of hopeless frontal assaults the Federals suffered yet another bloody defeat. Burnsides was replaced by Joe Hooker.

When the Civil War began, he served as a volunteer aide, helping to organize and train Union volunteer troops. Rosecrans was a Democrat, and a Roman Catholic, in addition to being an excellent officer.

He took part in the Vicksburg Campaign of 1863, and was promoted to brigadier general on October 30, 1863. Grant gave Wilson command of a cavalry division in the Army of the Potomac, with which he performed well. In June of 1864, however, Wilson's first independent raid almost ended in disaster. After leading troops in the Shenandoah Valley, he took part in the Battle of Nashville, then led a raid that helped push Confederate forces back to Selma, Alabama. Wilson ended his raid in April, when he learned of the Confederate surrender and resulting end of the war. His troops captured Confederate President Jefferson Davis on May 10, 1865, and was promoted to major general on June 21, 1865.

My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union. I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause."

In the Gettysburg campaign, Kilpatrick, known as "Kilcavalry" for his recklessness in combat, ordered a charge on Richmond, in March of 1864, which ended in disaster. After the raid, known as the Kilpatrick-Dahlgren Raid, Kilpatrick took part in Sherman's advance on Atlanta. After being wounded and recovering, he joined Sherman's March to the Sea and the Carolinas Campaign. By the end of the war, Kilpatrick was a major general.

Bloody Bill Anderson

Born in Randolph County, Mo., he spent his teenage years near Council Grove, Kan., where he was drawn into the Border War when his father, a Southern sympathizer, was shot to death by a prominent Unionist, some say for horse-stealing, others say for simply having pro-slavery views. Whatever the reason, Bill Anderson returned to Missouri and, desiring revenge, joined William Quantrill's guerrillas. Up to a few days prior to the 1863 raid on Lawrence, Kan., Anderson seemed content to follow rather than lead. Then, in an attempt to curb the growing guerrilla problem in Missouri, Union soldiers imprisoned a number of the womenfolk of known bushwhackers in a deteriorated building in Kansas City. The building collapsed on August 14, killing some of these women, including Anderson's sister, Josephine. Another sister was maimed for life. This event, cited by many of the guerrillas as one of the primary reasons for the August 21 raid on Lawrence, intensified Anderson's hatred and turned him into a Federal soldier's nightmare. Stories about Anderson's rage are legion. It is said he carried a silk cord on which knots were tied for every Yankee he killed. Some report that he cried and even frothed at the mouth during battle. By 1864 his quarrels with Quantrill led him to form a fierce guerrilla band of his own that included 16-year-old Jesse James.

Ordered east of the Mississippi, he arrived too late to take part in the fighting at Shiloh but participated in the unsuccessful defense of Corinth, Mississippi. In the summer of 1862 he successfully defended Vicksburg but failed in his designs on Baton Rouge when the attack under John C. Breckinridge failed. Another failure occurred when he attempted to retake Corinth in October 1862. By this time many Southerners were disenchanted with him, and he was placed in charge of the mounted troops under Pemberton. His raid on Holly Springs, Mississippi, was a major factor in ending Grant's campaign in central Mississippi. Moving his division into middle Tennessee, he was killed on May 7, 1863, by Dr. George B.
