George Henry Thomas [1]
American general, born in Virginia; a man of fine character, lacking none of the sterner stuff of the soldier, but blended with modesty and gentleness; universally popular in the army, which he joined in 1840 and continued in till his death, rising to be general of a division through gallantry in the Indian frontier wars and in the Civil War, in which, at the battle of Nashville, he completely routed the Confederate forces; had command of the military division of the Pacific at the time of his death (1816-1870).
