Joseph Wheeler (1836–1906), nicknamed "Fighting Joe," was a Confederate cavalry general during the American Civil War, serving prominently under General Braxton Bragg and later General Joseph E. Johnston. Known for his aggressive cavalry operations, Wheeler participated in numerous campaigns throughout the South. Following the war, he served as a U.S. Congressman from Alabama before returning to military service as a major general of volunteers during the Spanish-American War in 1898. He was among the few Confederate generals to later serve as generals in the United States Army.
