Let me first start by mentioning that I'm not saying that NBF was a "awesome" guy. I realize he was bat shit crazy who believed and fought for awful things. But like him or not, he was a genius tactical leader and courageous as fuck in battle.

I mean he was a millionaire who signed up for the war as a private. It was only when he donated horses and money to the Army that his commanders and governor took note that a millionaire was fighting alongside peasants. It was then that they promoted him to Lieutenant Colonel. And even as a Colonel, he leaded his Escort Company (Special Forces) into dangerous battle - where they would commit war crimes as brutal, ruthless Viking type warriors.

**So I guess my question is...**was there anyone in the Union Army that had that ancient times, warrior mystic to him?

CLARIFICATION -- I'm asking if there are any Union soldiers / leaders that have this type of wild "legendary" story revolving around them? Forest goes down in Confederate history as being this Achellies type of warrior. Is there a Union "Hector"?
