人称奇卡磨加之石的乔治．汤玛斯 (Geoege H. Thomas) 将军生于1816年7月31日

乔治．汤玛斯将军在1816年7月31日生于维吉尼亚的南汉普敦市 (Southhampton County) ，他被人们称为是「奇卡磨加之石」 (The Rock of Chickamauga) 。他之所以得到这个外号，是因为在1863年内战期间，他在乔治亚的西北方击败奇卡磨加克里克原住民。他后来为北方联盟赢得了更多胜仗。你觉得他在这张照片里看起来向不像「石头」般坚硬呢？


Born on July 31, 1816, in Southampton County, Virginia, General George H. Thomas was known as "The Rock of Chickamauga." He got the nickname by defending the Chickamauga Creek in northwestern Georgia in 1863 during the Civil War. He then went on to win more battles for the Union. Doesn't he look "rock" solid in this old photograph?
