Hi Group,



I know there's some expertise on this subject out there.  My question

ought to be easy  :) - does anybody have any reliable biographic data

or Antietam combat information about Colonel Henry Post of the 2nd USSS?



Of course, Berdan is the name everyone thinks of first with

Sharpsooters, and this is probably justified, so there's a fair amount

of material available about him and ACW sharpshooting in general.

More obscure, apparently, is Colonel Post, listed in the Order of

Battle as the CO of the 2nd USSS at Antietam, but I know nothing about

him and what his role might have been in the battle.



He's not listed in Heitman's or Appletons's - two sources I can

usually count on for a starting point, at least.  Any info or leads

appreciated.



Brian
