I live in the Albany area and visited General Thomas' gravesite yesterday. I was amazed at what had been done. The whole area was cleaned up and the tree branches from the tree had been cleared away from the monument. That is my recent picture of the monument on the webpage and will try sending an updated one. In addition, I grew up in Ft. Thomas, KY, so my association with General Thomas goes back a few years. My mothers maiden name was Thomas, but I don't think there is any connection. I wish there were. He was a courageous and gallant man.

A lovely site for one of the greatest unsung Americans. I learned the story of Gen. Thomas 50 years ago in high school, from a history teacher who preferred heroes to mediocrities and "social history", and I have never forgotten it. These days we produce far too few heroes who just stand and say "here". Thanks again for such an inspirational site.

As a native son of Fort Thomas, Kentucky (named in honor of Major General Thomas) and a member of your US military; It does me very proud to see such a wonderful website dedicated to such a great man.

As a minor student of the Civil War, and at age 71, I do not believe that I will graduate into the most knowledgeable class of masters of this subject in American History. What perked my new interest in Thomas was an article in Smithsonian Magazine recently on the newsstand.
It truly is amazing that he and his distinguished classmates were basically the center of who's who in the Civil War. It really is a shame that Thomas' demeanor allowed the other generals in blue to run over his good reputation as an excellent military man and a man of great virtue.

Thanks for recommending this new biography of GHT. I found it to be an excellent book, especially (as you mentioned in your review) whenever there were pertinent quotes from actual letters that GHT had written. That's a lotta' work for any author to do, but it helped to "humanize" the General. The maps were especially drawn clearly, and helped me to realize the strategy, and assorted troop movements ~ necessary to understanding why the battles went as they did. And the second copy of this book, purchased for a friend for Christmas, was a big hit, too! Take care ~ Grace

General Thomas is well remembered. His statue in the Capitol (Dupont Circle?) is a favorite.

Have enjoyed looking through all the info you have on Gen'l George Henry Thomas. In researching my own Thomas family (from SC) there is apparently a connection to his Thomas family, but I've yet to discover what it is. Amongst my grandmother's photos is a picture of Gen'l Thomas. Given that my grandmother (b. 1884) Thomas grandfather was born about the same time as the General, I suspect he may be connected through a sibling of the General's father, however I can find little info on his father's family. If anyone can help on this Thomas line, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks very much for this webpage. It makes a great preparation for a lecture I'm attending in a few days at the VA Historical Society by Mr. Einolf, the new biographer of Thomas. The page is very well done and your review of the new Einolf book is as well.

MGen Thomas served in a difficult time in US history. Especially the press of that era was harsh or vociferous, swinging widely and frequently without maturity or balanced thought. The treatment of Lincoln typifies the times. Grant actually praises Thomas highly in his personal memoirs, written as a terminal cancer patient years after Thomas passed. We may give thanks for the service of the best three generals who remained loyal to their oath...Grant/Sherman/Thomas. Fairly stated, the south had more competent generals overall-but Lee knew full well, as did Longstreet, that GRANT meant a new equation--especially established by penning Lee after three years of effusion in just over 40 days of hard fighting...

I am so happy to find this page. I am an avid researcher on the American Civil War, as a hobby. My husband is a descendent of General Thomas, a nephew from his father's side of the family. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of info. out there about him. This was very informative. Thank-you, Tiffany M. Thomas

I was researching a photo I have on a glass lantern slide of a young gentleman (in uniform). In seeing the photos on this website it is definitely a young George H. Thomas. In fact, looking a the autograph on the website, this photo appears to be "signed" by Geo. H. Thomas, himself! The photo also has the hand-written note "#97 So 8th St Brooklyn NY". Does anyone know the relevance of that street address? Was that where this picture was taken?
Great website! -- Mark Foster
