for a 25% might consider Fighting Dick Anderson. He was at most of the major actions and thought well of by Lee.
Would rather get him than Wigfall anyday.




Good suggestion. I just added him.

Certainly APHILL would need to make the list. Fought in every major engagement of the Army of Northern Virginia(even when he wasnt feeling well).

For confederates - Polk would have to be included in any list of CSA 100%ers. Though an exceedingly poor commander, he was in charge of a corps for most of the AoT's history, always popular w/ his men and, more importantly, Davis.

For union 25%ers - we need more of the first generation corps/div commanders from the AoP . . . FitzJohn Porter, Edwin Sumner, William Franklin, Darius Couch, Phil Kearney and Baldy Smith

I agree with you, ezz, but when I voted I saw Gil's caution that too many votes would dilute our influence, so after voting for AP Hill and Ewell (who I think are definitely 100%ers), it came down to a choice between Anderson and Wade Hampton. I'm a fan of Anderson's but if I have to choose which general had more influence on the war and should always be part of any random generation, I'd have to go with Hampton.

That's just me.

You're right, we forgot to include Polk in the voting. I think that for now I'll make him a 25-percenter, and if there's enough demand that can be changed. (Or is there strong demand now?)

As for the other guys on the list, some could be added as 25-percenters too. Recommendations?

Include: Porter and maybe Mansfield or Keyes probably had the best future as corps commanders. Kearny, potentially, and Smith, actually, were both good div commanders that had a promotion prospects.

Don't include: Sumner was soon to die from natural causes. Franklin was generally unimpressive, although that never stopped a career in the AoP. Couch was a fighter, but seemed destined to have personality conflicts w/ superiors.

As for Polk, don't really see a demand for him from CSA types. He'll probably end up as a garrison commander in Waco.



Gil R. -> RE: 100-percenters (10/12/2006 12:17:06 AM)

anarchyintheuk,
Thanks! I'll take that under advisement when I figure out the list of 25-percenters.



dh76513 -> RE: 100-percenters (10/12/2006 3:05:03 PM)

Just to satisfy my own curiosity, how did Grant and Lee compare in the final analysis?
