General William Joseph Hardee
General William Joseph Hardee was born in Camden County, Georgia on 12 October 1815 and died at Wytheville, Virginia on 6 Nov 1873. He attended the military academy at West Point and during the War Between the States served in the departments of South Carolina and Florida. Battles: Shiloh, Chattanooga, Atlanta. After the battle of Bentonville, the Union army blocked the Goldsboro Road. General Johnston ordered up Hardee's two divisions, hoping that they would arrive in time to support General Bragg. When they did, they formed two lines which moved across about six hundred yards which separated the two armies. This tactic delivered a major blow to the Union army.
