Beuragard instead of Hood

[nbforrest]

Now, I will start off by saying that I believe Hood was hands down the worst army commander of the war. And not much better of a corps commander.

I would love to see where Bory had the power to influence Hood's actions. If he did, please show me the orders. Hood had only himself to blame for the Atlanta fiasco and the Tennessee campaign.

Would you really take Butler over Hood? I'll take Butler because we won't have to fight and I can go home in one piece.

[nbforrest]

Same here. At least the biggest fight Butler screwed up was Big Bethel.

Didn't Hood at one point ignore some orders issued by Beauregard?

[nbforrest]

I wouldn't doubt it. Given Bory's record, certainly not brilliant we must admit, I have little doubt in my mind that he could have done something better than Hood.

Thanks for the link. Have bookmarked it for later, closer inspection. Looks good (and amusing).

Pardon Admiral, that wasn't a SHOUT... just trying to distinguish between the live type-o-er and memorex. As you've doubtless surmised, I don't know much about bro Beauregard except that he was at Shiloh and later in north Alabama in 1864-65. I'm still learning and am thankful for your input.
