We all know of Grant, Lee, Sherman, Longstreet, Jackson, and Hancock, but what about the lesser known ones?
This thread is for them.

I suppose I should mention my ancestor then: Col. William Sooy Smith of the 13th Ohio, he fought at Antietam and marched with Sherman to the Sea. Retired as a general and made a name for himself as an civil engineer designing foundations for light houses on the Great Lakes and the first all steel span across the Missouri (and the world as well)

3976174 this guy just owned a small factory in Ohio. Him and the other person our SUVCW camp is named after.
