[edit] Update September 9, 2006

I have performed some minor updates, particularly concerning his family and early career. However, this article has a number of opinions about Buford's capabilities and pejorative statements about other officers, all of which need citations. I have listed these with the notation ^{[citation needed]}. Would the original editor making these claims please provide citations in the near future, or we will need to strike the offending statements. Hal Jespersen 22:04, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quote

Is this the guy who said something to the effect of "Get there firstest with the mostest"? Wikiphyte 15:25, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

No, that was supposedly Nathan Bedford Forrest, although the quote is disputed. Hal Jespersen 16:32, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the info buddy! Wikiphyte 08:45, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Internment

He ought to be listed in the West Point Cemetery article (which is linked to Buford's Wiki article), under "notable internments"....Just a thought. Engr105th 06:41, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article semi-protected for a week

Due to a rather extensive vandalism spree today, from multiple IP addresses, I have semi-protected the article for 1 week. Georgewilliamherbert 00:14, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
