I'd have to second the nod to Grierson for sure Ole...after all the reading I did on the Vicksburg campaign and the ancillary actions surrounding it, Grierson's raid definitely had an effect entirely out of proportion to it's size and scope. And it's success was due largely to his excellent leadership skills as a cavalry officer.
