Best Generals in US History?

[JB Banning]

I think that Gen. George "Pap" Thomas has to be included in any list of the best generals. He stopped the rout at Chickamauga, it was his men who refused to stop the charge at the base of Misionary Ridge and went on to take that ridge and he utterly destroyed the western army of Gen. Hood at Nashville. He is not well known today because he refused to build himself up after the war.
