Major General Patrick R. Cleburne
Stonewall of the West
Born, March 16, 1828
Ireland
Patrick Ronayne Cleburne was promoted in the Confederate army at an astounding rate – enlisting as a private in early 1861, and rising to the rank of Major General by December 1862.  Highly respected by both his soldiers and his enemies, he showed great physical and moral courage.  In fact, it took great courage to issue his controversial – but sincere – January 1864 proposal to arm slaves to fight for the Confederacy. I have found it very interesting how the winners get to re-write history.
In 1863 Cleburne faced off against Union
General G.H. Thomas
at Chickamauga. Cleburne’s and General John C. Breckinridge’s assaults forced Gen. Thomas to call repeatedly for reinforcements.  In November 1863 the Confederate army was forced to retreat after the battle of Chattanooga.  However, Cleburne had defeated every assault against his men eventually charging his attackers.  After the battle, Cleburne and his men were charged with covering the retreat.
Prior to the campaigning season of 1864, Cleburne became engaged to Susan Tarleton of Mobile, Alabama. Their marriage was never to be as Cleburne was killed during an ill conceived assault ordered by General John Bell Hood, which Cleburne opposed, on Union fortifications at the Battle of Franklin, just south of Nashville, Tennessee, on November 30, 1864. He was last seen advancing on foot toward the Union entrenchment with his sword raised after his horse was shot out from under him. Confederate war records indicate he died of a shot to the abdomen.
Cleburne's remains were laid to rest at St. John's Church near Mount Pleasant, Tennessee, where they remained for six years. In 1870 he was disinterred and returned to his adopted hometown of Helena, Arkansas, with much fanfare. (His specific location of interment is in dispute. Various sources claim Maple Hill Cemetery, Magnolia Cemetery, and Evergreen Cemetery in Helena.) There is a nice moment to him in
