Francis Shoup

[W.Barksdale]

I hope you will consider adding General Francis Ashbury Shoup to the game. He's most famous for the "Shoupade". An special type of entrenchment.
Here is a brief account of his war record:

Promoted to Brigadier General in early September, 1862. He commanded a division in General Hindman's department of Arkansas.

He was present at Prarie Grove, in which his and Marmaduke's divisions annihilated part of a Federal division.

He was captured at Vicksburg and paroled.

He also took part in the Battle of Atlanta. After Johnnston abandoned the Shoupade works surrounding Atlanta General Shoup resigned.

He also wrote several military texts on infantry and artillery drill and tactics during the war.

I'd rate him 3-2-3 with training officer and engineer is a must for him.
