The most sublime form of poetic justice would be to change the name of Fort Bragg to Fort Thomas. Bragg may have won the battle at Chickamauga, but Thomas won the glory!
I have read just about everything available on George Thomas and many, many books on other Civil War leaders. After much thought, I conclude there was no other general officer on EITHER side who could match, let alone exceed, his record of service. In order to truly understand George Thomas, one must first understand he was a career military man and also truly HUMBLE and shy. He was an anachronism for most military men. Probably George Washington would be the only accurate comparison. George Thomas is currently only known to a few Americans. Perhaps someday, his magnificent sacrifice for the life of our nation may become more widely known. One of the most visible and touching tributes to General Thomas, are the thousands of African Americans, many of whom descendants of slaves, whose ancestors took his surname after the civil war. George would be proud of that, mighty proud.
Your website now looks more professionally done than the previous version, and much more modern than my website.. I'll have to wait until my "retro" look becomes fashionable again.

Excellent site with really good info. Cavalry Generals never die, they just go to Fiddlers Green! I invite you to hook up with the Military around the World web-ring. Your site would be a nice addition.

Just saw your page on Maj. General Thomas and like it well, your bibliography is well-done, the annotations very helpful. One comment on your chronology page, Gen. Thomas was actually age 36 at the time of his marriage to Frances Lucretia Kellogg on 17 Nov 1852, his date of birth being 31 July 1816. Nice page!

Pretty nice site. Thomas looks like he could have been an engineer at Boeing had he not been a Civil War General. Looks like a Systems Engineer to me. Dan

This is a surprise. I have been a fan of George H. Thomas after buying an autograph letter written by him (before the Civil War days).

Being a native Virginian, and a Civil War Buff is has always bother me that Thomas's role in the Civil War is also forgotten today. It is very nice to see a home page dedicated to him.
Thank you

I am the wife of R Martin but do alot of research for family history. Wonderful information on the Commander of my great grandfather,Jesse Moses Bumgardner, who was
in McDonald's Comp. under Thomas when he won against Hood.
This piece of information I knew briefly from his records, but to see it all in order. Brilliant....Thank you for all your work and research. Bonnie Martin of the MO Ozarks

I am glad to see the best general our country had on the Union getting some recognition. He is buried 50 miles east of me in Troy. I plan on visiting his gravesite. Few people in this area even know who this great man is, or his accomplishments! THANKS!!
