A great controversy surrounds General Lew Wallace at the Battle of Shiloh. (The epic novel Ben Hur would never have been written by Wallace if he had not been accused of delay and military stupidity.) General U.S. Grant blamed Wallace for the huge numbers of casualties the Union suffered, citing a dilatory march and poor choice of route to the battlefield. Wallace was obsessed with these accusations his entire life and wrote Ben Hur as much to work through the injustice of being a scapegoat as for literary aspirations.
