dtm: interesting, did not know that infantry square tactics were employed in the civil war...could you site when and where squares were employed and by whom?

agreed, farnsworth was doomed and his men wasted...too bad kilpatrick was not found at fault...in fact, he was actually promoted and lead sherman's cavalry on the notorious march from atlanta to savannah...where he earned the nickname: kill cavalry...

interesting that in war, leaders who are aggressive and attack, are rewarded with promotion, regardless of the cost of their actions...
