As far as I know Sickles was the first one to go on trial and getting acquitted for temporary insanity. As for Beauregard I suggest looking into the bio "Napoleon in Gray" (I think it is from the 1950s).

<t> Brig. Gen. Samuel Davis Sturgis (b. 1822, d. 1889). A solid soldier and officer Sturgis proofed to be no match for Nathan Bedford Forrest. Born at Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, Sturgis graduated from West Point in 1846 and was assigned to the cavalry. He fought in the Mexican-American War during ...

Was it an old superhero show like Batman?

<t> Gen. Samuel Cooper (b. 1798, d. 1876). Cooper served the United States and the Confederacy as Adjutant General but had only very limited experience as field commander. Born in upstate New York he went to West Point at the age of fourteen. Graduating in 1815 he served at a number of garrisons ...

Another great bio, Battleline. I will soon rejoin you in the project. Have been busy with work and writing an article on Lincoln in German for his bicentennial.

Make sure to check the War Room on this forum to get the right hints for playing the Union. On the lower levels it should not be a problem to win.

<t> Well, Hood got his command in the West although he only temporarily became full general. So he would be a good example for a rising officer. Joe Johnston and Davies were at ill terms after Johnston retreated down the peninsular and their relationship got worse later. About Cooper I still have to ...

As far as I know, there isn't.

I love the phrase "son-of-a-gun".
Confederates will need good sharpshooters or good luck with captures to get rid of that new Union corps or army commander.

The only remark on his nickname I found said it was chosen to distinguish him from the other Andersons.

I still need to edit nine more bios to get us up to 300 even, so I'm bound to include a few more of yours. Can't let Battleline get all the glory!<br/>

Well, in the end you do not have much choice as he has ...

Did you see my remark on the Wilderness? It is not a big thing.
Otherwise great to know that so many of my bios make it into the next patch.

The "sword"-thought is taken from Symonds' bio of Johnston. But it is not a quote from Johnston as far as I know.

I only found the sentence in "Heidler" stating he was involved in the Virginia operations in spring of 1862. So I cannot say whether he saw some kind of action near Fredericksburg with McDowell or closer to the Peninsula.

Well done, you assumed the right thing. Thanks.

Maj. Gen. George Washington Getty (b. 1819, d. 1901). “If I was ordered to march my division across the Atlantic Ocean, I’d do it. At least, I would march them up to their necks in the sea, and then withdraw and report that it was impractical ...

Well there will be an African-American president next year and next year is the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln.

<t> What kind of fantasy should it be? LoR is out of the question, Song of Ice and Fire would be great but has not that many magical creatures. Malazan might work as Steven Erikson created his world for role playing. But if you create your own fantasy world you have to introduce this world to ...

<t> Brig. Gen. John Carpenter Carter (b. 1837, d. 1864). Carpenter rose to the rank of brigadier general at the age of 26 only to be killed in the Battle of Franklin four months later. Born in Waynesboro, Georgia he attended Cumberland University in Lebanon, Tennessee and for a short time also ...

All of it.[;)]
