The coolest man I ever saw under fire was Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson.
ObQuotes:
Look! There is Jackson standing like a stone wall!
Let us determine to die here today and we will conquer!
Rally behind the Virginians!

Captain James Power Smith: (Stephen Spacek)
General, how is it that you can keep so serene,
stay so utterly insensible with the storm, the
shells and bullets running about your head?
General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson: (Stephen Lang)
Captain Smith, my religious belief teaches me to
feel as safe in battle as in bed. God has fixed
the time for my death. I do not concern myself
with that, but to be always ready whenever it may
overtake me. That's the way all men should live,
then all men would be equally brave.
