General Clebourne was an excellent officer and a fighter first class. To bad his talent was wasted by John Hood.

Bull Snipe: "General Clebourne was an excellent officer and a fighter first class."

Sometimes ranked #5 among best Confederate generals.

"The most unsung hero of all Confederates" -- number 5 behind Lee, Jackson, Forrest & who? Longstreet? Stuart? Albert Sidney Johnston who like Cleburne died leading his men into battle?
