Gen. Maxey Gregg was the man.

Bass if u want a good read on the amazing story that was the Andrews raid read Russell Bonds “Stealing the General” as it’s an awesome book. One of my clients relatives was a yank named Wollam who was a raider and in the book after capture escaped captivity multiple times, the last time taking the hooch all the way to the Gulf to find safety with the yankee fleet.

This CSA General was born near Rome Ga. It was said his men shied away from enemy artillery fire.

General Stand Waite was born there but I don’t ever remember reading that about his men.

 

[westcobbdog]

Yep he’s the man. His men were Indians and did not care for artillery directed their way.
He was one of the very last to surrender to the yankees.

I suspect most of us would not be fond of artillery aimed at us. And I’m Irish not Cherokee ?

This yank is on the $1000 bill, one sold for 2m recently.

I am a mixture of both, Irish and Cherokee, with a little highland Scot mix in for good measure.

We don't care for artillery fire to be directed at us either.

Gen Meade
btw: "Stealing the General" was better the 2nd time around.

 

[BassRaider]

Who said it?
This person described his military career as "had a good many bloody struggles with the musquetoes."

 

[westcobbdog]

nother hint needed.

 

[BassRaider]

West, I figured you if anyone would get this? He is in the book you recommended.
Hint: politician that was heavenly involved during the War.

 

[BassRaider]

Right before Bragg was gone from command this fiery gent told him he would not be accepting any more orders from him and would not be facing arrest or charges for that. He also told him if their paths should cross another day that Braggs life’s would be imperiled.
