Buford in "Killer Angels"

It just seemed to me that Buford deserved more credit because of the "good ground" he choose. He stuck through it all. I was impressed and then in the afterward, it stated that Buford never did anything great after the war. He made a pivotal decision during the battle. Even Lee said they needed to get that ground. But Buford kept it for the Union. I really think he deserved a huge amount of credit. He stood his ground and he was against great odds. But I have never heard of him before. It just proves that ordinary men can do extraordinary things in extraordinary circumstances.
