Letters to Don Carlos Buell
B. 1818 · D. 1898
Don Carlos Buell was a United States Army officer who fought in the Seminole War, the Mexican-American War, and the American Civil War. Buell led Union armies in two major Civil War battles,Shiloh and Perryville. The nation was angered at his failure to defeat the outnumbered Confederate Army after Perryville, or to secure East Tennessee. Historians generally concur that he was a brave and industrious master of logistics, but was too cautious and rigid to meet the challenges presented in 1862. Buell was relieved of field command in late 1862 and made no more significant military contributions before his resignation in 1864.
