Federals convinced Southern
officers they were outnumbered
2-to-1 and Lee ordered a
retreat. Actually, the CSA had
numerical advantage. Soon

said I kept the Confederacy's
hopes alive after Vicksburg
and Gettysburg. Before the
war, I taught at West Point,
Georgetown, KY and Nashville.
I was badly wounded at Shiloh.
The high point of my career

City, and Brighton, Illinois.
Who am I?

13. Who was John Huff of the
5th Michigan Cavalry?

15. I was a Confederate, born
in Virginia and received an
education at home. I died
early in battle leading a
rearguard action near
Harrisonburg, Va. Because of
my death, many said I never
realized my potential.
Stonewall said of me, "As a
partisan officer, I never knew
his superior." My remains lie
in Stonewall Cemetery in
Winchester, Va. I was never
married, and wrote very few
letters. Many cannot recall
anything I had said. Perhaps I
never avenged my brother's
death by a Union patrol but I
did give my life for my state.
I was a cavalry man and
colonel for the 7th Virginia.

Confederate service having
fired only one hostile shot
during the war.  Who was he?


19. I was a Unionist but
ironically, the son of a South
Carolinian slaveowner. My
father freed his slaves and we
moved to Indiana. At 19, I
went to West Point and
graduated 18th in 1847. My
military duty saw garrison
duty in the Mexican War, then
along the U.S. frontier. I
patented a breech loading
rifle, eventually selling
55,000 of them along with much
ammo. Yet, I always doubted my
ability as a commander. I
resigned my commission, became
governor and a senator.
Who am I?

to be killed for love of
country, and now you can be."?
