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

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.

At VMI, cadet Walker thought Jackson was questioning his integrity and challenged Jackson to a duel. He was court-martialed and expelled from school.

This Reb took a bullet in the cheek and lost some teeth as it passed thru but no further damage as the shot passed thru his open mouth in the invasion of KY.

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.

Was reading about the generals killed at Franklin earlier and failed to make the connection.

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.

No takers?
#2 was Champ Ferguson. He was a Confederate guerilla. He claimed to have killed over 100 Union soldiers and pro-Union civilians.
