A knight indeed. Bold in dress and deed, inspired and inspiring in battle, at the heart of danger yet a teetotaller who paused to embrace wife and children, a hero who in death urged his forces on and paid his own life, all for duty, honor, country.

Sheridan breaks away from the Marx Brothers farce with Meade to enact a bold plan of his own.

Custer succeeds in a daring attack overshadowed by his final defeat.

Private John A. Huff causes history to ricochet with the chance of war putting a trained marksman within range of a crucial leader, but Shelby Foote writes the distance was 25-30 feet, not 400 yards.

Wounded at the battle of Haw's Shop, Virginia on May 28, 1864, Huff died of those wounds sometime later.

About 25 feet is the story I heard also. Plus it was a chance shot.
