家园 LTG is a higher rank to MG

为了不让Haun’s Hill的惨剧重演,在得到州议会的许可后,史密斯开始组织Nauvoo的民兵组织叫作Nauvoo Legion,并且被任命为lieutenant general(应该是翻译为中将吧)。这是个极高的职位,因为当时美国没有人任major general因此史密斯的军衔属于最高的了。

Actually, lieutenant general (LTG) is 3-star general, which is higher than major general (MG) or 2-star general. And there was at least one major general in US at that time.

In 1840, Alexander Macomb was the commanding general of the United States Army and he was Major General at that time.

So your statement "因此史密斯的军衔属于最高的了" is still right because LTG is higher rank than Major General.
