Given his training at West Point, the fact he was second in his class, and was the academy's superintendent, it makes sense he could most ably command infantry and artillery in addition to being an engineer. He truly had an excellent grasp of warfare like his fellow Virginian, Unionist George Thomas. I can completely concur that Fort Gregg was a solid example of gallantry and should be learned from. It allowed some of those Rebels who were able to escape to make it back to their families alive to take care of them. I could see that Gibbon applied an old Jominian principle by concentrating a sizable force on the fort to finally overwhelm it. He was no argument one of the best generals the Army of the Potomac had.
Tactics were changing (finally) at this point and the head on charge on a fixed position was no longer a desired tactic. I feel Grant was one of the first to really embrace this. Even at Belmont, he decided against attacking Columbus head on.

what a waste for such a horrible cause.
No argument from me on that point.

Thanks for sharing your opinion.
