Which General of the WONA Are You?

I'll make a nice pairing with Fr. Jim of Dappled Things

  • My #1 result for the SelectSmart.com selector, What Civil War General are you like?, is Lt. Gen. Stonewall Jackson (Confederate): Eccentric Virginian, he was Lee's best general until he was accidently shot by his own men.

    I'd rather be Lee, for whom I have tremendous respect. But this isn't a terrible second. (Thank goodness I wasn't Sherman--I'd have to go out and buy a new personality.)

    Here's my #1:

    Maj. Gen. Patrick Cleburne (Confederate):
    Cleburne was an Irish immigrant, known as the "Stonewall of the west". The Confederacy lost their best division commander in the disastrous charge at Franklin, where Cleburne fell.

    My result: Maj. Gen. George H. Thomas (Union): "The Rock of Chickamauga"
    Actually, I read somewhere that while Sherman was not a Catholic, his wife was one, and their children were raised in the Faith. If I remember correctly, one of his sons became a priest.
