New Names - Part I Joe Wheeler

 

Joseph "Fighting Joe" Wheeler (September 10, 1836 – January 25, 1906) was an American military commander and politician. He was a cavalry general in the Confederate States Army in the 1860s during the American Civil War, and then a general in the United States Army during both the Spanish-American and Philippine–American Wars near the turn of the twentieth century.

After we wrote a humorous blog about changing the name of a local military facility from Joe Wheeler to Inspiration Landing, many wrote concerned about the proposed name change...to whatever it may be. For any who are truly concerned, you may write:

Robert B. Aderholt

For those who expressed renewed concern about changing the name of Deshler High School, it's been two years since we have heard anything of this campaign. If we discover new information, we will publish it here.
