Reading "Donnybrook" by David Detzer at the moment.

He writes:
In 1861, except for Lieutenant General Winfield Scott, Jefferson Davis was America's most famous military expert.

Really? There are a lot of others who would be in that conversation. Joseph Johnston was just made a brigadier general in the US Army ahead of the already respected and well-known Robert E. Lee. You have Pierre Beauregard who fought very well in Mexico and was just appointed to head West Point. You also have guys like John Fremont, Ben McCulloch, and Albert Sidney Johnston. There are also a handful of "old generals" from the Mexican War like Robert Patterson and David Twiggs.

Who is the second most "famous military expert" in 1861 then?
