I foolishly gave the order to attack at Picketts Mill Ga. and got many blue coats slaughtered that day in some wicked terrain as the Rebs raked us with musketry and grape relentlessly for hours.
How about Sherman?

Hood did some good things but did get many men slaughtered with his unauthorized attack at Kolb Farm against superior dug in numbers with a ton of artillery ,too. He simply was not qualified to lead an army, just a portion but with explicit orders.
At 5'5" 120 lbs wet I was a fierce General officer.
AP Hill was not much larger than that.

Wheeler.
The answer is Fitzhugh Lee.
I was a Lieutenant General and I commanded 2nd Corps, ANV. My nickname is "Old Bald Head." Was given discretionary orders at Gettysburg but did not find it "practicable" to continue the opening assault of the engagement.

I was a Confederate commander during the Peninsula campaign and 7 days battles. I had a nickname due to the tactics used to make it appear that I had many more troops in the field than I really did.
Who am I and what was my nickname?
