Ten Civil War Generals Who Were Famous for Other Things-- Part 1

From the June 29, 2022, ListVerse by David Williams.

They achieved something more than just "being" a general.  Interesting list.  I am just doing the names and what else they did.  For more information, go to the site.  Pictures as well.

10.  Lewis Wallace (Union)--  Wrote "Ben-Hur:  A Tale of the Christ."

9.  Lawrence Sullivan Ross (Confederate)--   As sheriff of Waco, Texas, arrested 700 outlaws, was governor and saved Texas A&M.

8.  Jefferson Columbus Davis  (Union)--  Besides having the same name (except middle) as the Confederate president, killed another Union General but not prosecuted.

7.  Benjamin McCullough  (Confederate)--  Friend of Davy Crockett.  Fought for Texas independence.  Killed at Battle of Pea Ridge in 1862.
