  Alabama Hall of Fame: John Tyler Morgan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-24)
John Tyler Morgan, lawyer, Confederate general and United States Senator, possessed an element of elegance that somehow overshadowed his successes, even while making possible those successes in three fields of endeavor.
As a Confederate fighting officer, Morgan won high praise and a general's star from General Robert E. Lee, but he was equally effective for the Confederate cause in the manner in which he dazzled young recruits into uniform with his glowing appeal and noble appearance.
During the war Morgan outfitted and recruited, at little government cost, a regiment of 1300 men, the 51st Alabama Cavalry, and compiled an outstanding record in battle.
