"Groomed: for War: What Was the Beardiest Battle of the Civil War?-- Part 2

The Confederacy led the Union generals in every category.

"Civil War generals are as known for their beards as they are for their tactical ineptitude."

The Battle of Cloyd's Mountain in 1864 in Virginia/Tennessee takes the win for "Beardiest Battle."  This primarily because of Confederate General  Albert G. Jenkins whose beard was 3 times the length of his face.  The Union General George W, Crook had a trim mustache and an untrained short beard.

Researchers looked at 124 Union commanders and 95 Confederate.

Some styles were fairly evenly split like long beard and mustache, but some had a big difference like short beard (29 Union, 12 Confederate), clean shaven (5 Union, 14 Confederate) and mutton chop derivatives ( 14 Union, 4 Confederate).
