Hood’s wounds at Gettysburg, and loss of a leg at Chickamauga—really have to say he must have been driven- and reason/military logic escaped him. Terrible at Franklin, esp the loss of Patrick Cleburne.

Exciting to learn of a cache of Hood’s papers/letters has been found, giving balance:

Thank you for the link - I want to read that book! The Confederate's in the west made a radical switch from Johnston's war of maneuver to Hood's banzai charges.

I agree with you about the loss of Cleburne.
