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?

BTW, my co-author of “Patriot’s History of the Modern World” wrote a really good company diary of the 5th Ohio Cavalry, dispels a lot of the stuff about Wade Hampton’s greatness.

See Dave Dougherty, “making Georgia Howl.”
