Alexander M. McCook, was one of the youngest major generals in the
Union army, was a member of a patriotic family from Ohio that
became known as the ""Fighting McCooks."" He participated in some
of the bloodiest campaigns of the Civil War, including Bull Run,
Shiloh, Perryville, Stones River and Chickamauga. In battle, McCook
could be rash and reckless, but his personal courage was beyond
reproach, and his career was marked by controversy. He was
subjected to an inquiry into his conduct at the battle of
Chickamauga and while he was cleared of all charges, he was relived
of command and spent the remainder of the war handling relatively
minor assignments. Although he was forced to deal with criticism
and accusations all his postwar life, McCook was able to look back
on a lifetime of proud service.
