Lloyd Tilghman (January 26, 1816 – May 16, 1863) was a Confederate general in the American Civil War. A railroad construction engineer by background, he was selected by the Confederate government to build two forts to defend the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers. The location of Fort Henry on the Tennessee was vulnerable to flooding, but Tilghman was slow to spot this, and his surrender of the fort to U.S. Grant in February 1862 was regarded as a disgrace. Taken prisoner and exchanged, he commanded a brigade in the Vicksburg campaign, and was killed by a shell at the Battle of Champion Hill, where he was widely praised for gallantry.

  • Lloyd Tilghman (26 janvier 1816 - 16 mai 1863) est un général confédéré pendant la guerre de Sécession. Ingénieur ferroviaire, il est sélectionné par le gouvernement confédéré pour la construction de deux forts pour défendre les rivières Tennessee et Cumberland. L'emplacement du fort Henry sur le Tennessee est vulnérable aux inondations, mais Tilghman ne s'en aperçoit pas rapidement, et la reddition du fort à U. S Grant en février 1862 est considéré comme une honte. Fait prisonnier et échangé, il commande une brigade lors de la campagne de Vicksburg, et est tué par un obus lors de la bataille de Champion Hill, où il est largement salué pour acte de bravoure.
