1 Early life and career. Early life and career[edit].

Hardee was born to Sarah Ellis and Major John Hardee at the "Rural Felicity" plantation in Camden County, Georgia. He graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1838 (26th in a class of 45) and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the 2nd U. [2] During the Seminole Wars (183542), he was stricken with illness, and while hospitalized he met and married Elizabeth Dummett. After he recovered, the Army sent him to France to study military tactics in 1840. [3] He was promoted to first lieutenant in 1839 and to captain in 1844. In the Mexican-American War, Hardee served in the Army of Occupation under Zachary Taylor and won two brevet promotions to brevet major for Medelin and Vera Cruz, and to lieutenant colonel for St. He was captured on April 25, 1846 at Carricitos Ranch, Texas, and exchanged on May 11. [2] Now serving under Winfield Scott, Hardee was wounded in a skirmish at La Rosia, Mexico about 30 miles (48 km) above Matamoras in 1847.

[3] After the war, he led units of Texas Rangers and soldiers in Texas. He served as the senior major in the 2nd U. Cavalry later renamed the 5th U.

Cavalry when that regiment was formed in 1855 and then the lieutenant colonel of the 1st U. [2] In 1855 at the behest of Secretary of War Jefferson Davis, Hardee published Rifle and Light Infantry Tactics for the Exercise and Manoeuvres of Troops When Acting as Light Infantry or Riflemen, popularly known as Hardee's Tactics, which became the best-known drill manual of the Civil War. [3] He is also said to have designed the so-called Hardee hat about this time. Army commission on January 31, 1861, [2] after his home state of Georgia seceded from the Union. He joined the Confederate States Army as a colonel on March 7 and was given command of Forts Morgan and Gaines in Alabama. He was subsequently promoted to brigadier general (June 17) and major general (October 7). By October 10, 1862, he was one of the first Confederate lieutenant generals. [2] His initial assignment as a general was to organize a brigade of Arkansas regiments and he impressed his men and fellow officers by solving difficult supply problems and for the thorough training he gave his brigade. He received his nickname, "Old Reliable", while with this command.

Hardee operated in Arkansas until he was called to join General Albert Sidney Johnston's Army of Mississippi as a corps commander for the Battle of Shiloh. He was wounded there in the arm on April 6, 1862. [2] Johnston was killed at Shiloh and Hardee's corps joined General Braxton Bragg's Army of Tennessee. At the Battle of Perryville in October 1862, Hardee commanded the Left Wing of Bragg's army.

In his arguably most successful battle, Stones River that December, his Second Corps launched a massive surprise assault that drove Maj. Rosecrans's army almost to defeat. After the Tullahoma Campaign, Hardee lost patience with the irascible Bragg and briefly commanded the Department of Mississippi and East Louisiana under General Joseph E. During this period, he met Mary Foreman Lewis, an Alabama plantation owner, and married her in January 1864. At the Battle of Chattanooga in November 1863, Hardee's Corps of the Army of Tennessee was defeated when Union troops under Maj.

Thomas assaulted their seemingly impregnable defensive lines on Missionary Ridge. Hardee renewed his opposition to serving under Bragg and joined a group of officers who finally convinced Confederate President Jefferson Davis to relieve Bragg. Johnston took over command of the Army for the Atlanta Campaign in 1864. As Johnston fought a war of maneuver and retreat against Maj.

Sherman, the Confederacy eventually lost patience with him and replaced him with the much more aggressive Lt. Hardee could not abide Hood's reckless assaults and heavy casualties.

After the Battle of Jonesboro that August and September, he requested a transfer and was sent to command the Department of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. He opposed Sherman's March to the Sea as best he could with inadequate forces, eventually evacuating Savannah, Georgia on December 20. [3] As Sherman turned north in the Carolinas Campaign, Hardee took part in the Battle of Bentonville, North Carolina, in March 1865, where his only son, 16-year-old Willie, was mortally wounded in a cavalry charge.

[4] Johnston's plan for Bentonville was for Hardee to engage one of Sherman's wings at Averasborough so that Johnston could deal with one wing piecemeal. He surrendered along with Johnston to Sherman on April 26 at Durham Station.

After the war, Hardee settled at his wife's Alabama plantation. He eventually became president of the Selma and Meridian Railroad. Hardee was the co-author of The Irish in America, published in 1868. He fell ill at his family's summer retreat at White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, and died in Wytheville, Virginia.

He is buried in Live Oak Cemetery, Selma. The item "1861 HARDEE CONFEDERATE Rifle & Infantry Tactic Battle Maps CIVIL WAR 2v SET CSA" is in sale since Tuesday, March 31, 2015.
