The only General to TWICE save an army from total destruction. Stones River and Chickamauga
The only General to totally destroy an opposing army.
Hood after Nashville never reappeared as an army.
Lee at Appomattox surrendered an intact army.
Johnston surrendered an intact army.

I find Gen. George H. Thomas to be extremely interesting
to say the least.

Great website. Have always had an interest in Gen. Thomas. My ancestor, Pvt George Coyner, was with the 89th Ohio Vol. who protected the General's back when he had to withdraw from the Chickamauga battle site, was captured and died at Andersonville. A notable sacrifice in light of Gen. Thomas' contribution to the winning of that dreadful war!

My 3d grandson, will be named Thomas as a first name but after the last name of the great Civil War Union general, thanks to my Son-in-Law. So great to read General Thomas' story in the recent Smithsonian magazine.

I would like to know more about his sword, especially a picture of it. It is my belief that Gen Thomas was a ancestor of my late husband, Capt. Walton Delaware Alley USCG

Until this month's Smithsonian mag, I'd not known of this remarkable man and leader. Also, interesting to learn about Sherman and Grant...both in Smithsonian and your site. Thank you. Jim Regan MD, Denver

I've been reading Francis McKinney's biography of Thomas and am fascinated to learn about the great General Thomas and how history was nearly rewritten by Grant supporters. It's been said that Grant was a man who looked like he was determined to ram his head through a brick wall. Thomas would have used a sledgehammer instead and preserved a lot of lives. Keep up the good work!

Do you know where I can find a family tree for George Henry Thomas? I would like to know if there is a connection with my family tree.
Thanks, WG (Dub) Thomas

I just sent you an email. Much to my surprise, you have a pic of General Thomas that is an exact match of one from my grandmother's family photos! Her maternal grandfather was a Thomas b. 1812 in SC so now we are wondering how the General connects to our Thomas line!

I live in Troy, NY and wonder where Thomas's wife lived in Troy. Did Thomas ever live here (except for burial)? David Graham

Don't know if you are aware of the latest (March '07) issue of Smithsonian magazine with an excellent article on Thomas. Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan were jealous, back biting weasels compared to this man who cared for the men under him.

Thank you for all of your detailed information on Gen. Thomas. I read the Smithsonian article and was interested in more about him. The next time I am in Chattanooga, TN I will be sure and pay more attention to places of battle where he excelled . Is the cemetery, where he answered the question, "Should we bury the fallen according to their (home) states?", still there to be visited?
Even though being a native Virginian, I was unaware of his sacrificial contributions to America.

Although largely unknown to me, recently articles in Smithsonian magazine piqued my interest. I've found that Gen. Thomas was a principled individual as well as great Civil War General. A very interesting study!
