Todd, What a great new resouce this is! I'll get my stereo glasses soon, but even without, having the annotated Gardner photos all in one place, with Bill...
Hi Group, I hope the following will be of interest. It's the content of a newsletter I created for the AotW site's members, but I think it may have items of...
Here's a brain teaser for all you devotees. Where were McClellan's headquarters located on Saturday, September 13, 1862, the day he acquired the "Lost Order"?...
According to Stephen Sears in "Landscape Turned Red" oh page 113, MacCellan replied to Lincoln about a previous communication from Frederick, MD. His reply to...
Hi Mary, Thanks for the input. The Lincoln telegram you refer to was not sent almost immediately after McClellan received the Lost Order. It was in fact sent...
Thanks Tim. After I wrote that reply I thought to myself that you may have wanted a specific location like a house or what ever. This may sound kind of funny...
You're more than welcome, Mary. GBM was indeed on the move that day, at least until he reached Frederick. The overwhelming outpouring of relief and welcome...
Hello again, Mary, It seems I was able to answer my own question. After a tumultuous arrival in Frederick, GBM established HQ on the farm of Dr. Lewis Steiner...
Frederick County Court House might be of some assistance as well! Great going! Now to refresh my memory, Is the location of the spot the order was foun...
The precise spot of its finding will never be known because personnel of the 27th Indiana were not that specific. However, it was definitely found near to the...
Mary and Tim, Try the Frederick County Historical Society Library located on Church Street in town. They have a fantastic set of resources as well which might...

Which is understandable since no unit historian was precise in their location. But, seems to me when they camped, didn't they camp as close to a brigade unit...

Hi Ollie, Yes, "12M" is how it was transcribed in the OR, as per the footnote in the article referred to. We'd all agree that means noon. But that's not what...
Hi Ollie, If you check out the links I provided Mary you'll see that the Lincoln telegram was sent at MIDNIGHT. Case closed. Like many others, you fell for...
