I am almost half way through Michigan's Civil War Citizan-General Alpheus S. William's. This made me wonder what forum members feel about General William's. I am not sure he should be considered a political appointee or not. He did see service in the Mexican American War, but not heave combat. He also had spent years in the Michigan Uniformed Milita. Still he had no formal military schooling. So far in the book he does not appear to be a bad division commander nor too bad as acting Corps Commander.
Well I still have 2/3 of the book to read.
