General Beauregard was one of the original five Full Generals of the Confederacy.

He fired the first shots of the war, at Fort Sumter. And at the war's first pitched battle at Manassas, he was given special authority on account of his intimate knowledge of the terrain.

He was then posted to Western Tennessee, where he missed his opportunity to destroy Grant's army at Shiloh. After this, his health began to fail and he was replaced by General Bragg as the commander of the Army of Mississippi.
