Yep, played this time by Bruce Boxleitner. "Box" is better known for playing a television character named "Sheridan". (No relation!)

I'm in the middle of the book GODS AND GENERALS. Believe it or not I thought the movie was an improvement. Some of the dialogue in the novel slips into a more modern language which is a distraction. I finished Shaara's GONE FOR SOLDIERS, about the Mexican War, prior to starting G&G. I think it is a much more well done book.

The article says he died in 1904. ;-)
