Thomas's XIV Corps at Chickamauga contained twelve brigades.

Seven were commanded by a "John."

John Starkweather
John King
John Beatty
John Connell
John Croxton
John Wilder
John Turchin

Throw in the Divisional Commander:
John Brannan

The Provost Guard commanded by:
John Parkhurst

And the Cavalry Escort under:
John Barker


They must have used a whole lotta nicknames for one another!


These are the things I think about while waiting for my wife to finish getting ready so we can get dinner...
