Bragg and Polk were an interesting pair. Braxton Bragg was an incredibly profane man. Polk, an Episcopal bishop, would not permit a swear word to pass his lips.

Just before a battle, Bragg urged his men to give the Yankees hell. Polk said, "Now you boys give the Yankees just what General Bragg said."

I had always assumed that Fort Stewart was named after J.E.B. Stewart or is it Stuart?

General Early was one of those coarse, profane soldiers who cursed constantly. Due to the influence of Lee and Jackson, he ended the war a devout Christian.
