Bully! For Oscar he's &#%% on retreat!!!​

No offense taken...but as a Sherman-phile I would say Looking at Sherman is like looking at a man who understands the madness of War.

Sir,
That is an insightfull statement. I would venture to say it takes a degree of madness to be a great military leader. As someone once said it requiers ordering the destruction of that which you love. I have never thought "Uncle Billy's" tactics were not sound, but being a Georgian and from an area that was hit hard by him; well its hard to love him. Good General none the less.

I, for one, would follow him to the gates of Hell....

Now THAT is going in my annual "Who's Who" powerpoint. We'll see who's paying attention! Excellent work, Wilber!

And anything makes a better-looking general than Bragg.

Great thread. You could probably make a whole website turning CW images into color since it isn't done very often.

there must have been a method to his madness, though...how else to explain how he waltzed through half the confederacy without breaking a sweat?

Oh, he broke one. He just believed in "Never let 'em see you sweat." Some guy whose name escapes me worried him a lot. If it hadn't been for our buddy Oscar, there, he might have done a lot more damage.

He didn't exactly shine at Shiloh, Chickasaw Bayou, Chattanooga or Kennesaw Mountain. He was pretty good at burning things though.

Will,

Have you thought about colorizing a battlefield scene yet?
You should give the "Harvest of death" photo a try.
I'm sure you've seen Mark Maritato's version.

I'm working on a couple of battlefield and camp scenes, but the hardest part is trying to get the landscape looking natural...It makes colorizing the people look easy.. When I get the technique down better then I will post..But right now, they look more like paintings rather then color pictures... It all has to do with getting a mix of colors into the scene, but so far its out of reach for now lol

So right now Im working on Buford, then most likely Gordon...

Are you aware of this site, Wil? Pretty extensive collection of the Generals - and some I've never seen before? (and yep, I put the link in).
