Jake Pierro has many footnotes in his Appendix B of his Carman book for the OOB of the ANV which prove helpful. Likely Tom Clemens will also delve into the OOB...
I would suggest you read Harsh's Taken at the Flood for ANVa strengths and also his companion volume Sounding the Shallows, before commenting on any funny...
... There is a lot of funny-business going on in there, certainly _not_ up to Gen. Carmen's standards ! [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
Dean, Actually the OOB is in itself an error. Most historians make the mistake of back dating the OOB for the ANVa to September; as I am sure you well know,...
Dean, Thanks! However, I think our resident Carman experts might be able to weigh in on it also! Yr. Obt. Svt. G E "Gerry" Mayers To Be A Virginian, either by...
Gerry, The site mentions the game on the first page as the source of the text. "The latest Civil War computer game from Firaxis is Sid Meier's "Antietam";. Dean...
Gerry. That's not actually Carmen... there was a computer game (forget the name) that used some Carmen text and appended the game OOB with the game's...
Larry,  I have nothing. I've been trying to find a picture of him for quite some time now. So far no luck. I did find him mentioned in one letter written...
It will be a while, perhaps a year or more. Still working out kinks in Vol. I. Thanks for the kind words. ... I just read that Tom Clemens 624 page book will...
I just read that Tom Clemens 624 page book will be out this summer, congratulations! It is now listed on Amazon.com. Looks like I will have to replace my two...
Tom, Interesting theories, no matter which way you look at it. I agree with you as regards Jeremy Brett...by far the "BEST" Holmes ever! Yr. Obt. Svt. G E...
I found this on a website which gives a short biography of Sir Athur Conan Doyle: Shortly after the marriage, Dr. Doyle began practicing medicine as an eye...
Do you have a citation on that? It strikes me I read an article years ago explaining how Doyle named the famous detective after two gunners in the royal...
Thanks, Larry! That is a lot more detail than I had unearthed. Your suppositions seem correct to me. Reoccupying the original encampment (especially at night)...
With the new Sherlock Holmes movie coming out I thought I would point out an interesting connection between the detective and the battle of Antietam. Sir...
Tom... Could you contact me off line please? I don't have your current email. I want to ask you a question about your research on Col. Wm. Fitzhugh (Mex....
Dear Matt, I looked in the Carman battle manuscript for any mention of Coffin's section, Eighth Massachusetts. Here is what I found: "Welsh had a greater...
In Coffin's report he said he was ordered "200 yards in advance of the column" during the IX Corps assault. Did he move ahead and begin firing at the...
Dean, Until a real expert replies, here is what I have: Carman says that on the evening of the 17th they "returned to the bivouac near Keedysville," 320....
Hi Everyone! I know there are several cavalry experts here, so I thought I'd cast a line in the water and see if somebody knew the answer. On the evening of...
Tom, I would like to see them or get copies. Let me know how we could do this. I've read on Google Books his book, Isaac W. Heysinger, "Antietam and the...
Larry, I have found some good letters from Heysinger, who was with the 7 Squadron RI Cav, and also born & raised near Sharpsburg. He is adamant about the...
Thanks Robert, I was aware about the 4th company when I believe that you told Don C. or Brian D. about the missing company. Thanks for the lead on the masters...
Larry, I'd be happy to look it over. Newcomer is a primary reference, but there are gaps in his history. Not surprisingly, he focused more from his personal...
