The Union troops were led by U.S. Grant, with Divisional commanders that included Sherman, McClernand and both the Wallaces, one of them the author of Ben-Hur. General Don Carlos Buell arrived with reinforcements before dawn on the second day.

The Confederates were led by Sidney Johnston (no relation to Joe Johnston), rated by many as the best General in the South. He was killed in this battle. His second-in-command was P.G.T. Beauregard, who took over.
