Once again we look to history for inspiration. We need to put some names to the commanders of the scattered forces of Knoxville. We'll return to this webpage (link) documenting the final resting places of our fallen American brethren who fought in that terrible conflict sometimes called Lincoln's War. Since we used the Confederate soldiers for Kingsport, we'll scan the list of Union soldiers for suitable names for the Knoxville High Mucky-Mucks. We do this in remembrance of their sacrifices and as a way to acknowledge the debt we owe them.
David Rogers Beeler in our own world was the fifer for the 8th TN Infantry. In our little tabletop world we're going to bump him up to command the largest field force there is: the Army of the West.
William Henry Stiner, of the 2nd TN Infantry, takes command of the Army of the Pines.
Isaac C. Haynes, who served with the 8th TN Cavalry, must be the man behind the Harlan Blitz. We need a cavalry man, and a ruthless looking one, for the role.
