[url=https://firefly.fandom.com/wiki/Jubal_Early]Jubal Early[/url] was a Bounty Hunter who wanted to kidnap River Tam. He was portrayed by Richard Brooks who was also in a movie called 84 Charlie MoPic set during the Vietnam War. Loved that movie and Brooks' character was so believable as a US Infantry NCO. 

The name Jubal Early is taken from a Civil War Confederate General who commanded a Division at Gettysburg in Richard Ewell's III Corps and later commanded [i]the Army of the Valley[/i] in the Shenandoah during the Valley Campaign of 1864. With that said, I went and chose a Union General Officer's name for my character. Joseph Hooker commanded [i]the Army of the Potomac[/i] during the Chancellorsville campaign. He was sidelined by Lincoln for awhile from his dismal showing as an army commander. Eventually, he transferred to the western campaign when the Army of the Cumberland were moving on Chattanooga. He commanded the XX Corps and was involved with the attack on Atlanta. Hooker was from Massachusetts. There is an elementary school in his hometown of Hadley, MA named after him. It is called The Hooker School.

Yes, I am a history buff. :)
