Lieutenant-General Daniel Harvey Hill (July 12, 1821 – September 24, 1889), commonly known as D.H.Hill, was a senior officer of the Confederate States Army who commanded infantry in the eastern and western theaters of the American Civil War.
Hill was known as an aggressive leader, being severely strict, deeply religious and having dry, sarcastic humor.He was brother-in-law to Stonewall Jackson, a close friend to both James Longstreet and Joseph E.
Johnston, but disagreements with both Robert E.Lee and Braxton Bragg cost him favor with Confederate President Jefferson Davis.Although his military ability was well respected, Hill was underutilized by the end of the American Civil War on account of these political feuds.
