Alexander Hart (October 1, 1839 – September 21, 1911) was a major in the Confederate Army during the American Civil War. ==Military career== Hart hailed from New Orleans and commanded soldiers from the Fifth Louisiana Regiment during the war.〔(Hart's journal (which chronicles, albeit briefly Hart's military service from July 4, 1864, through the end of the spring of 1865) )〕 A veteran of many battles, Hart led troops in the Confederate victories at the Second Battle of Winchester (see Winchester II Confederate order of battle), and Second Battle of Kernstown (which Hart noted in his journal). Hart recorded in his journal that his regiment also participated in pushing back Union troops at the Battle of Smithfield Crossing. During the Battle of Strasburg, Hart's regiment captured numerous Union troops. Hart noted in his journal that his regiment "Captured a Lt. Col. And some dirty non-coms. Officers and men." Some sources claim that Hart fought at the Battle of Monocacy (see Monocacy Confederate order of battle), but (his journal ) makes no mention of this battle. Rather, Hart records traveling with his troops across Virginia on the date of the battle. Hart also led his regiment at Gettysburg (see Gettysburg Confederate order of battle). Hart mentions in his journal that he was injured in battle upon at least two occasions -- first at Antietam and at the Battle of Opequon. Simon Wolf's 1895 book, (''The American Jew as Patriot, Soldier and Citizen'' ), notes that Hart first held the rank of a non-commissioned colonel before being commissioned as a major in 1863. After returning to Confederate territory as part of a prisoner exchange, Hart later was assigned to the general staff of a Montgomery, Alabama-based General Williams. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alexander Hart」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
