		Rosecrans and his Army of the Cumberland are good examples of worthy but nearly ignored subjects.
		Lamer's view of Rosecrans is that he was a brilliant but flawed general who combined great successes with an amazing ability to irritate superiors (such as Stanton), fellow generals (like Grant) and subordinates (future President Garfield) alike.
		Rosecrans also has the distinction of winning all of his battles from West Virginia to Murfreesboro and brilliantly outmaneuvering Bragg at Tullahoma and Chattanooga, losing only once at Chickamauga, but it was an important loss and cost him his job and his reputation.
