Interesting list AC. But I gotta ask, Nate Evans a relative? I admit that he had guts and elan, that he showed well at the Bull Runs, Sharpsburg and Ball's Bluff etc. but the boy seemed to have been fueled by 80 proof whiskey.
In no way am I demeaning your choice, but he just seems a bit out of place with the others you mentioned.
I'm not asking you to defend him, but I'd love to hear how you chose him.
