Fightin' Joe Wheeler.

They put a former confederate general in charge of all mounted troops.

I also seem to remember reading that we almost went to war with Spain like in the early 1880's. And N B Forrest offered his services to the cause at that time.

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison?
And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
