Theophilus H. Holmes
Theophilus Hunter Holmes (November 13, 1804 – June 21, 1880) was a career United States Army officer and a Confederate Lieutenant General in the American Civil War. A friend and protégé of the Confederate President, Jefferson Davis, he was appointed commander of the Trans-Mississippi Department, but failed in his key task, which was to defend the Confederacy's hold on the Mississippi.
==Early life and career==
Holmes was born in Sampson County, North Carolina, in 1804.〔Welsh, p. 104.〕 His father, Gabriel Holmes, was a former Governor of North Carolina and U.S. Congressman.〔Hoig, p. 306.〕〔McCrady, pp. 608-09.〕 After a failed attempt at plantation managing, Holmes asked his father for an appointment to the United States Military Academy, from which he graduated in 1829. He was ranked 44 out of 46, in his class.〔Williams, pp. 989-90.〕 Holmes was apparently quite deaf, and was almost never aware of loud gunfire.〔
