Refutation of such non-history and rewriting and revisionism of history can be refuted at my own personal library, it's always interesting to challenge history as an armchair general, analyist, and sometimes former modern commander but their documented deeds are not lessened by perceived foibles of today. Real Historians, as Shelby Foote, Stephen W. Sears, John Keegan, Douglas S. Freeman, Bruce Catton, James M. McPherson, Noah Andre Trudeau. We have all read (or you should) the many biographies of Gen Custer (Sun of the Morning Star) and now there many new ones, but no one can deny the impact he had on the Civil War, as did all the Generals mentioned in the MHQ article. It's always good to examine historical commanders and their impact on their particular war and history, but controversy for the sake of it, which this obviously this is, is garbage. "Little Big Man" was a movie, not an historical document, neither is MHQ, but they can have their opinions as long as they are based somewhere in the stratosphere of fact.
