Albert Woolson of Minnesota was a Union drummer boy who died in 1956, and the Civil War's last authenticated survivor. On the Confederate side the answer is somewhat more difficult to confirm. \n\nAn article by historian William Marvel, published in Blue and Gray magazine in February 1991, and titled "The Great Impostors," names Pleasant Crump of the 10th Alabama, who died in 1951, the last Confederate vet. Prior claimants to the distinction included Walter Washington Williams (who died December 19, 1959) of Texas and John Salling (who died March 19, 1959) of Virginia. A thorough check of official census records by Marvel suggests that both Williams and Salling were too young to have served.

I'd say C. E. Sir Callwell, though there are books about Gen. Maude by other authors\n\n\nCallwell's book is: The life of Sir Stanley Maude, Lieutenant-General, K.C.B., C.M.G., D.S.O.

Major General Gordon Granger was the one who really saved the Army But, you history book wants you to select George H. Thomas.  William S. Rosecrans' commanded the Army of the Cumberland but again your teacher wants you to name Grant.\n\nGod Bless the Army of Tennessee and the Southern People.

Just like I figured, the usual names that are mostly a product of the press they've received.  Stonewall Jackson was probably the best general of the Civil War on either side, with a grasp of operational level warfare seen only by Prussian and German generals (and good old Napolean).  \n\nThe best general we had in WWII was Alexander Patch, the only general to have major commands in all 3 theaters of war (European, Mediterranean, and Pacific), who never lost a major unit and accomplished every mission assigned to him.\n\nPatton is forever overrated for too many reasons to mention here, and MacArthur was brilliant one minute and incredibly stupid the next.  Eisenhower ended up being a politician in uniform, and had next to no battlefield experience.

General Gregorio del Pilar\n\nHe bravely fought superior and better-armed American force in the narrow pass of Tirad. Before the famous battle, General Gregorio del Pilar wrote a statement saying; "I am now surrounded by the encouragement which shall overpower me and my brave men. I shall die happilywith the thoughtthat it is sweet to die defending my motherland." He was killed in this battle but surely his braveness shows to his country above all.\n\nThe Americans, impressed by his bravery, they buried him with military honors. Killed in the Battle of Tirad Pass, on December 2, 1899.

there are public places such as miltary.com where you can search their 'buddy finder' but there is no offical database that the public has access to.  \n\nUnless you are listed on a servicemember's page 2, you are NOT authorized to receive any information about them from the military.

You betcha!  Go to the National Park Service's Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System at http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/ and click on "soldiers."  When that comes up, type in the name "Elsasser" (and if you want, "Pennsylvania").  \nI typed in just the name and got a very long list---most from Pennsylvania.

Tadeusz Kosciuszko---He was a son of liberty and a great soldier.  He helped the Americans in the Revolution and he led the (ultimately unsuccessful) fight to free Poland from imperialist neighboring states in Europe.  His will gave money to educate freed slaves.\nSam Houston---He led the Texan forces in the struggle to win independence.  His small army (which included my ancestor) defeated a much larger force in the Battle of San Jacinto.\nMy father---he loved his family more than anything else in the world and sacrificed so much for us.
