William Rosecrans

Major General was one of the most fascinating and tragic figures of the Civil War. He was a heavy drinker and user of profanity, and was extremely popular with his men who nicknamed him "Old Rosey."

In 1862 William Rosecrans was appointed Commander of the Army of the Cumberland. After nearly losing the battle at Stone's River he stayed in Murfreesboro until President Lincoln's orders in late June, 1863. During the next two weeks he took half of Tennessee without a major battle and marched into Chattanooga almost unopposed.In September 1863 Pres. Lincoln and Congress considered him the most able general on the Union side, but only one month he was accused of disgracefully leaving the battlefield at Chickamauga, he was relieved of duty.
