Edits

Undid some edits made by an anonymous editor yesterday. Essentially, the edits, which contradict virtually all of the established sources both at that time (Grant's memoirs, War Department dispatches, General Halleck, etc) and current, turned the intro into a cheerleading section for Buell. The edits contradicted both the established history per documents from the period and subsequent research, and contradicted the rest of the article.

Place of Buell death

According to the authoritative book by Otto A. Rothert (A History of Muhlenberg County, 1913, p. 236), Buell died at his home at Airdrie (on Green River), near Paradise, Muhlenberg County, Kentucky. Buell lived in this house for the last 32 years of his life. 2602:306:25DB:4DD9:2D99:6BD2:4EC5:C861 (talk) 00:57, 4 June 2017 (UTC)Lee Durham Stone[reply]

Name

I'm wondering if we have any information on his name. Did he have Spanish ancestry, or perhaps was named in honor of some sort of Spanish figure? Did he go by "Don Carlos", or was Carlos a middle name? --BDD (talk) 20:57, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Buell here. Yes, we have Spanish ancestry, but this was likely unknown to his parents. Best probable answer would be a parent's fascination with Spain.

Second question: Don Carlos most of his life, but later Major General Buell, even after his discharge. Joseph Buell (talk) 23:52, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Spanish ancestor. Joseph Buell (talk) 23:54, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It was also his uncle's name. Joseph Buell (talk) 03:50, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Pop Culture Reference

There is mention of a civil war general named Buell that a stranded amputee veteran speaks of, in the game Red Dead Redemption 2. The amputee's horse, also named Buell, is the second creature named Buell that made him lose his leg; the first being the general over him, and the second being the horse that bucked him off with his fake leg still in the stirrup. 64.57.225.21 (talk) 04:15, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
