Officers with Objects as their Last Names

[Stryker65]

Previously did a thread on Animals, so I thought I'd do another on Objects. Same as before, just trying to be a fun thread, to wonder (respectfully) at the interesting names ACW officers had. I'm a violinist, so I instantly thought of:

• Col. Frederick S. Bass (1st TX Infantry)
• Lt. Col. Richard C. Drum (AAG)
• Lt. Col. William E. Fife (45th VA Infantry)
• Col. John W. Horn (6th MD Infantry)
• Brig. Gen. Tyree H. Bell

There are some real goodies in here...

'Objects' can cover a very wide range of inanimate tangible movable property forms.

Will kick it off with the following three Confederate Generals:-

M-G Gideon Johnson Pillow
B-G Richard Lucien Page
B-G Alfred Moore Scales

John Bell Hood
A.P. Hill
Dan Sickles
Nathaniel P. Banks
James Shields

 

[Sivart]

B-G John Wood
B-G Charles Pomeroy Stone
M-G Benjamin Butler
Colonel John Garland
B-G Barnard Bee
M-G George Custer

Was gonna do John Bell Hood but @peacefulanimalguy7 got him too quick
