General John Bell Hood was one of the most accomplished brigade and division commanders in the Confederate army, and played a critical role in the battles of Gaines' Mill, Second Bull Run, and Antietam. He suffered an arm injury at Gettysburg and his leg had to be amputated just months later after being wounded at Chickamauga. When he was selected by Jefferson Davis to command the Army of Tennessee, he became the youngest full general the Confederate army ever had.
155 years ago, on the evening of July 17, 1864, Jefferson Davis removed General Joseph E. Johnston from command of the Army of Tennessee and replaced him with General John Bell Hood. At 33 years old, Hood was the youngest army commander in the Confederacy.
