That would be Nathan Bedford Forrest, though a better guerrila commander would be Bloody Bill Anderson. John Mosby was also a good Confederate guerilla commander, really unorthodox.

That's the guy! Thanks. Ken Burns seems to think he's incredible.

I would say Francis Marion AKA the Swamp Fox. my opinion may be biased as I’m from SC and he turned most of his Red Coats even more red in the state, or colony at that time. But from a Military Commander’s stand point, he took the Brits’ tactics of organized phalanx warfare and turned it upside down.
