[edit] How sure...?

How sure are we that this is the "General LaSalle" that Poe refers to in "The Pit and the Pendulum"? I'm not familiar with this historical figure, but the article does not mention the Spanish Inquisition or Toledo, which is heavily important in Poe's story. Not saying this reference is false, but I'm suspicious especially because of the spelling difference. But, what do I know?

Also, the last line in the main section should be edited for WP:NPOV: With the possible exception of Curély, who was in 1809 still unknown, Napoleon never possessed a better leader of light horse. Wild and irregular in his private life, Lasalle was far more than a beau sabreur. To talent and experience he added that power of feeling the pulse of the battle which is the true gift of a great leader. --Midnightdreary 14:18, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
