Don Carlos Buell

United States Army officer

1818 CE to 1898 CE

Don Carlos Buell (March 23, 1818 – November 19, 1898) is a career United States Army officer who fights in the Seminole War, the Mexican-American War, and the American Civil War.

Buell leads Union armies in two great Civil War battles—Shiloh and Perryville.

The nation is angry at his failure to defeat the outnumbered Confederates after Perryville, or to secure East Tennessee.

Historians concur that he was brave and industrious, and a master of logistics, but was too cautious and too rigid to meet the great challenges he faced in 1862.

Buell was relieved of field command in late 1862 and made no more significant military contributions.
