<ref name="7ofbE">Sources differ on Wheeler's highest C.S. rank. Evans, vol. 1, p. 706, lists a promotion to lieutenant general on February 28, 1865. This promotion has been accepted by Dupuy, p. 794, and the [http://bioguide.congress.gov/scripts/biodisplay.pl?index=W000338 U.S. Congressional biography website], but there is no record that the Confederate Congress confirmed this rank. References Eicher/Eicher, Bearss, Warner, and Foote make no mention of this promotion occurring.</ref>
