The Civil War: John Bell Hood Biography | The Civil War | Ken Burns

Leader of the fabled Texas Brigade, John Bell Hood was highly regarded among the ranks of Confederate generals. Despite sustaining wounds at Gettysburg and losing a leg at Chickamauga, Hood continued to fight. His defense of Atlanta against Sherman bought only a few weeks for the city, which he was forced to surrender. A businessman after the war, Hood died nearly penniless, although his memoirs later proved extremely popular.
