General Lovell was a curious character, a competent engineer but a military failure who was eventually charged with incompetence.

New Orleaneans wanted somebody else as commander. Maybe if they'd gotten their way history might have been different. Probably not.

He seems to have been more of a Bostonian or New Yorker, so how he ended up in the Confederate Army must have been quite a story.

Mention too of “Albert Pike and his cannibals.” Pike, another Boston Confederate, is a very controversial figure. Mason, Know Nothing, poet, Klansman, and some say satanist. His Indian troops were said to have taken scalps, but “cannibals” was probably an exaggeration.
