He was born in 1885. He competed in the 1912 Olympic Games. A career soldier, he served in WWI starting as a captain and rising to colonel by the end of the war. He died in 1945, officially due to injuries received in a traffic accident, although some maintain he was murdered for his "controversial" views. George Patton It's your time to come up with a person to guess about. We're ready for your question when you are!

Is he Pachacuti?(assuming I spelled his name right)

His is quite famous, more likely in the USA than the rest of the world. His most famed act/moment has generated both fame & controversy. Said moment/act was actually lasted half to full hour on the last day of a 2-day battle.

Said moment/act was actually lasted half to full hour on the last day of a 2-day battle. Teddy Roosevelt? Nope. I admit this one is a quite hard due to the vague hints. So I'm gonna give some more: Okay, I believe that 1 hill is named after this person & 1 other hill is named after the event he is supposedly famous for. The latter hill is also where he supposedly carried out his famous act. You can also technically say that the battle when his most famous act occurred was fought as part of a sort of civil war in modern USA.

I'll provide more clues then: He fought in the American Civil War & played a part in what you can technically call a one of many wars in the long series of "civil wars" of the USA. He technically also played a key role in the Appomattox Campaign, but you can debate where or not it was decisive in urging Robert E. Lee to surrender. He graduated last in his class in West Point.

Not Sherman. Correct, he's Custer. Custer blocked Robert E. Lee's path by taking over Appomattox Station & his "greatest" achievement was "Custer's Last Stand" or Battle of the Little Bighorn. The battle was part of the Great Sioux War of 1876. If you consider the Americans and the American Indians as both Americans (people of today's USA), then wars between the US gov & the American Indians can be considered as "civil wars". Custer Hill & Last Stand Hill are straightforward. The rest, you can read about in Custer's Wiki page en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Armstrong_Custer?wprov=sfla1Or look up the Battle of the Little Bighorn.

I wouldn't usually have two guesses in such quick succession, but after the total guess of Sherman the cogs in my head started working lol I don't know much about the US CW but knew I'd read of a famous general finishing last at WP, and once I thought of Custer the other clues about the "second CW" made sense
