This is a really nice article, why not nominate it for good article review? Hekerui ( talk) 14:07, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
One of the most interesting (to me) facts in the article was that Buckner was both the first and last Confederate general to surrender. I think this would make a wonderful addition to the first paragraph of the lead, but I'll leave that for the regular editors to decide. Karanacs ( talk) 20:35, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
Civil War records show an interesting letter dated 30 May 1865, addressed to Lieutenant Colonel C. T. Christensen, Assistant Adjutant General, Military Division of West Mississippi, from Frank N. Wicker, Lieutenant Signnal Corps, US Army, regarding the activities of General Simon Volivar Buckner, while exiled to Louisiana, as follows. (I have broken the letter down into smaller paragraphs for easier reading and analysis.)
(I am missing a sentence in the last paragraph which I had garbled from my first typing) ... gave any information necessary in regard to this thieving operation. He is at present watching the disposition made of Government property iand its place of concealment. They report that large amounts of rope and agging are being sold to citizens at $1 per coil. Missouri tropps are guarding what property there is left at Shreveport, and will not allow Confederate officers to touch it.
Bushrod William Musgrove, originally from Jasper, Walker County, Alabama, who moved to Louisiana, then to Titus Co., Texas, where he served as a Post Master for a year; then moved to Wood County, Texas, but had a general dry goods store in nearby Surphur Springs, Hopkins Co., Tx. Hopkins County, Texas, had a large gang of outlaws controlling and abusing the country side, recruiting young men to resisist the occupation of Texas by the United States Government. Musgrove blamed their activities on General Buckner. In 1868, the same year General Buckner returned to Kentucky, Bushrod William Musgrove was murdered, with his body sewed up in a sack and thrown in a cyprus swamp in Jefferson County, Texas.
It is said General Simon Bolivar Buckner went back to Kentucky a very wealthy man.

I received the Russell biography of Buckner this week, and while I can't assess its overall accuracy and scholarship, I will say the following about it:
IMHO, I wouldn't choose to use this book as a source if I were writing a college-level paper, though I might get away with it if I were a high-schooler. It doesn't meet the WP:RS standard as an historical secondary source. It is not the "more analytical work" desired by the 1940 reviewer of Stickles' work. BusterD ( talk) 15:39, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
I'm sure somewhere there is a policy against multiple boxes. So we have a "governor" box, with Buckner's picture as a general. The parameter "lieutenant" now looks funny in the context of a military picture. I would suggest, if possible, switching pic to one in civilian clothes. Alternately, "they" should change the parameter to "Lieutenant-governor" which I have suggested in the template discussion. I doubt they will do that, though.

Article says he was the last Confederate general to surrender, then goes on to say that Stand Watie surrendered a month later. Clearly Watie was the last Confederate general to surrender, not Buckner. I am making the change. 138.162.128.52 ( talk) 12:57, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

The USN General Simon B. Buckner (1947-1997), was named after him. It was facetiously said to have been named the buckner because it bucked in the sea rather than rolled. [There's no way I can get an approved source for that, but it's true.] Kdammers ( talk) 07:58, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
