US Civil War Generals from both sides showed degrees of courage that would seem unthinkable then and even now in 2016. Lost limbs and battle deaths among US Civil War generals was high. On the Confederate side, Major General John Bell Hood is an example of pure grit and courage. And, many Union generals were equally as brave.
Now for General Bell, he was a special case. He lost the use of one arm at Gettysburg. After that his left leg was amputated at the hip in Chickamauga.
After all of this, President Jefferson Davis gave him the assignment to replace General Joseph Johnston in the defense of Atlanta in 1864. Bell had to be strapped into the saddle because of his injuries.
