If your ever near Chattanooga, go by Chickamauga Battlefield visitors center and look at the large display of civil war rifles there. Largest display I've ever seen of these kind of rifles. Dave
This Gent accepted leadership of Jackson’s Stonewall Brigade after he was mortally wounded at Chancellorsville.
Who was he and what unusual prior history did he have with Ol Jack, his former VMI professor?

Here’s another:
The Reb General was a warhorse for Robert E Lee then was transferred South and worked under Bragg, long enough to learn Bragg was a bit inept. After being critical of Bragg ( who was Jeff Davis’ buddy) he was essentially released from leadership and rejoined the Southern cause late in the war near the very end.
He was pretty good at Math, too.

The man mentioned above later died at Franklin where Hood ordered many of the South’s finest men to their slaughter, charging much further than the charge at Gettysburg and with much less artillery support against a well entrenched enemy.
My turn:
Name the only 2 people were convicted of war crimes during the civil war. Name them.
Wirz at Andersonville was one but I believe he was convicted in error.
Was reading about the generals killed at Franklin earlier and failed to make the connection.
