IMO The first modern general who, foregoing frontal attack, understood movement, logistics and mechanized infantry(using trains) was General Longstreet.

Longstreet was one hell of a General, and a great leader of men. I admire him.

"The first modern general who, foregoing frontal attack, understood movement, logistics and mechanized infantry(using trains) was General Longstreet." Thanks for that.
I also rank Longstreet very high (1 Lee, 2 Jackson, 3 Forrest, 4 Longstreet, 5 Cleburne) but am uncertain how Southerners view him, considering his whole life.
You vote puts Longstreet firmly in fourth place among Confederate generals, in my opinion.
