For Tom Shay: In your bibliographical listing below you cite a Crampton's Gap book (mine) with "occasional errors." If legitimate, it would be helpful to know...
Certainly no hurry, Tom. Thanks for responding. Actually all my data for the 96th PA were accrued at the National Archives, augmented by other period sources....

Hi Richard, Local historical site terminology is exhaustively long and habitually confusing, so I mercifully resort to abbreviation. "CG" stands for Crampton's...
Thanks Tim, the web site was very informative - but I needed to truncate it or it wouldn't work. I am sorry if this info had been posted before, but I have...
No problem, Paula. These threads sometimes get tangled a bit. Earthlink has been in a sling all this weekend, hence difficulties with the CG site. The...
I thought I would mention that I have an interest in Gathland and especially the Correspondence Memorial as created by George Townsend. It appeared at one...
Ooops - that is Correspondents Memorial Arch. I know they didn't build a monument to the correspondence of the war - but sometimes I think they should. The...
Paula, Actually it's an Arch, a monument and memorial all rolled into one as Gath intended, sort of mixed metaphor. No shrinkling violet, Townsend's name...
Forgot to mention that if you're really into ACW journalists, at least those cited on the WC Arch, there's a 50-page booklet of bios for each available through...
Thanks Tim, whatever you would like to send, and whenever is fine with me. I have an 1870 edition of his book, "Lost Abroad". I am interested in that booklet,...
good points everyone and thanks for the input. i was looking for information on a broader level that contrasts getting sucked in by some schools of writing....
Paula, Last night I dug around the hard drive and was unable to find the article text mentioned. I apparently deleted it after publication. I'll make a...
Thanks Tim for all your offers. I will email you privately so as to not tie up the list. I haven't had much time to look at my mail, so I will get back to...
For Tom Shay et al: Yesterday I received a letter from Leo Ward, President of the Schuylkill County HS, asking my assistance in planning a 96th Pa. marker for...

Tim, Hope you have not given up on me. I have been running here at work the last several days and have not had time to respond like I wanted. The "White House"...
Kevin, Ah, power democracy. You gotta love it. Thanks for the update on CMHL holdings or lack thereof. The "White House" property, now being out of CMHL...
I have started a new history forum on MSN named "Civil War Headquarters." This forum is dedicated to the discussion of the War Between the States. Check it...
Thanks, Matt. This will get very complicated very quickly I'm sure. The Wilderness posting is already over the top in complexity. This should get interesting....
Below is the schedule for the Civil War Reunion at Pennypacker Mills. If you need any further info, please contact me directly. PPM is located at 5 Haldeman...
In today's Hagerstown Herald-Mail (May 21, 2004) Library officials on Thursday unveiled what could become the Google of local Civil War history. An index of...
I should be walking the barrle field in less than 3 weeks. I had about 3 hours a few years ago and I'm looking forward to a full day. I want to grt into the...
I was actually amazed at how different the terrain around the Burnside Bridge was when I saw it for the first time than from how I envisioned it beforehand....
Just hope those darned pesky little bugs aren't flitting around the bridge. They pestered me so much I wrote 'em into my book. A piece of advice -- the visitor...
