I've been thinking lately...how many fully-clean-shaven generals were there?

The only ones I know of are:
Maj. Gen. John A. Wharton:

Maj. Gen. Sterling Price:

Any others?
 
Old Howell Cobb would not make the list but how about his younger brother, Thomas Read Cobb?
Read Rootes Cobb, IIRC
Whatever Meade (or his aide) thought Barlow looked like, Ellen Shaw (Robert Gould Shaw's sister) must have liked the look because she married him after the war. :smile:
Maybe she thought he was younger than he was -- he was eleven years older than her!
