READING LISTS-- CIVIL WAR GENERALS, PT. 7
Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard (1818-1893) was a Confederate general. He commanded Confederate forces at Fort Sumter, Battle of Bull Run (1861), Shiloh, and Corinth. He rarely saw eye-to-eye with Jefferson Davis, and as a result spent the latter part of the war attempting to be restored to an independent command. After the war, he served as Director of the Louisiana State Lottery.
