I am curious to see what the general consensus is regarding MG Ben Butler--not only as a commander but also as a politician (I think it is impossible to separate the two). When I first starting studying the Civil War, I found that I was 'supposed' to despise him as a bumbling political general. Now I am certain that there is much more to him than that. Mark

I think his nickname pretty much sums it up

I was about to ask the same thing (I like Spoons myself)... and please explain why you think that sums him up. Mark
