Zollicoffer, Felix Kirk

Vojnová šťastena obišla aj brigádneho general Felix Kirk Zollicoffera. Bol first generálom Konfederácie, who died on západnom bojisku. Zollicoffer pochádzal of the Tennesseee, and before the war it belonged to the odporcom secesie. My political činnosťou sa tried to zabrániť disintegration of the union. After začiatku občianskej army sa ako former dôstojník I decided vstúpiť into the militia of his native state. In júli prestupuje to konfederačnej army in the rank of brigádneho general. Nevertheless nedostatočným veliteľským skúsenostiam shoulder-to-veliteľom, ktorí viedli inváziu to Kentucky. Units under his command advanced into the area juhovýchodnej Kentucky, and tried the sa out to get it under control oblasť around Somerset. Took pozície pri Mill Springs and you want the prezimovať. Here it caught zvesť about it, that it vo command vystriedal major-general Crittenden. Changing the vo command bola vynútená neskúsenosťou general Zollicoffera. New veliaci general so I convinced Zollicoffera to take over all velenie act of the brigades.

In an period of bolo obom veliteľom clear that jednotiek union in the ich sector pribúda and čoskoro budu čeliť veľkej prevahe under the leadership of unionistického general Thomas. Crittenden, preto developed a plan under one sa konfederačné unit mali snažiť break the individual parts of the unionistickej army before, than sa spoja. Brigáde general Zollicoffera pripadla role napadnúť unionisticke unit pri cestnej križovatke Logan in the dawn of the day 19. januára 1862. Aj when the attack mal spočiatku success, thanks to the evil of the terrain and obsolete zbraniam, which in chladnom and mokrom weather boli nanič, čoskoro uviazol. In zmätku, who was sa Zollicofferovi it seemed that the unit, on the given strieľali his men is konfederačná and tried to stop this thing paľbu. Was it a big mistake, because against him became 4. a walking regiment from Kentucky and just the soldiers of this regiment were killed konfederačného general, ktorý stratil prehľad on bojisku and paid for it smrťou. Well viditeľný general in bielom cloak and riding bol ideálnym cieľom. Zollicoffer utrpel niekoľko injury and mieste zomrel. His pozostatky boli issued príbuzným and buried at Old City Cemetery in Nashville.
