Sample Book Insights: #1 Rosecrans was promoted to lead the Army of the Ohio just nine weeks before the Battle of Stones River, and he replaced General Don Carlos Buell, who had fought the Battle of Perryville to an unsatisfying result. The Lincoln Administration decided Buell had to go. #2 Rosecrans was an innovator, a modernizer, and a bit of a perfectionist. He saw plenty of problems he wanted to address, but he had little time to implement any real changes before initiating the offensive movement that would culminate in the large-scale battle outside Murfreesboro. #3 Rosecrans was a graduate of the US Military Academy in 1842. He was a brilliant man, and his intelligence bordered on brilliance. He was born in Sunbury, Ohio, in 1819. His father, Crandall Rosecrans, was a recently returned veteran of the War of 1812 who served as an aide to General William Henry Harrison. #4 Rosecrans was a zealous convert to Catholicism, an anomaly in 19th-century America. He had done well so far in the war, and was instrumental in winning the early successes in western Virginia that propelled fellow West Pointer George B. McClellan to such heights in Virginia in 1862.
