| rdfs:comment | - Franklin Kitchell Gardner (January 29, 1823 – April 29, 1873) was a Confederate general in the American Civil War, noted for his service at Port Hudson on the Mississippi. Gardner built extensive fortifications at this important garrison, 16,000 strong at its peak. But he was at the mercy of conflicting orders, and found himself besieged and greatly outnumbered. His achievement at holding out for 47 days before surrendering has been praised by military historians.
