His injury at G'burg kept him quite inactive. He'd come back to the ranks and have to go home again to recuperate. Do you know the nature of his wound?Indeed he was a pretty remarkable man. I think if he´d had emerged into the higher command earlier in 1862 the eastern theater might possibly have been a bit different and the ANV would have got a harder time. And still with his great service he was done no good - later as the army´s senior major general he was kept in a bookshelf assignement and kept away from promotion and the south were much work was still to be done. And lost his presidential campaign in 1880 with just few thousands of popular votes missing etc., one of the many elections not going as smooth as they should do.
