I don't know too much about USA history and although he is not on the list my vote would go to Stonewall Jackson,Patton being a close second.

What is your favorite cereal ?

 

[Kilrain]

Probably someone rather obscure, "skill" and "fame" rarely seem to go together. My semi-uninformed pick would be NB Forrest. From that list? Lee.

Patton

VMI=Virginia Military Institute. Jackson was an artillery officer (Mexican War) and teacher.

That would be Stonewall
