| Gen. James Longstreet |
General James Longstreet, CS, born
| Robert E. Lee affectionately called James Longstreet “My old war-horse,” an apt description of this corps commander who held an unbreakable defensive line at Antietam and Fredericksburg. He was the senior corps commander in the Army of Northern Virginia - a huge man with accompanying strong-mindedness. Lee relied heavily on James Longstreet (1821-1904). Yet “Old Pete” proved to have off-setting qualities: patriotic but petulant, aggressive but ambitious, self-confident but at times self-righteous. |
