In the spirit of the George S. Patton Jr. suggestion:
A.S. Johnston
Patrick Cleburne
Stonewall Jackson
(George S. Patton Sr. belongs with this crowd, but in my estimation is not as good as the three named, or his grandson.)
Patton wouldn’t have wanted another thirty years.
There were no more major land wars and he had done his thing.
What did he have to look forward to?
‘Stonewall Jackson’
Had he lived, it would have been Jackson commanding the leading elements at Gettysburg. And unlike his successor Ewell, the old artillery prof Jackson would never have rested without first capturing the Cemetery Ridge high ground. Lee was without his right arm.
