Having read this I thought it was extremely enlightening.
I appreciate you taking the time and energy to put this article together.
I once again find myself spending a lot of time both reading and posting comments.
But so what, it was still worthwhile!

Comment on The Medal of Honor in the Civil War by Daniel Sauerwein

Barry,

Thanks for your comment and letting me know. Unfortunately, I can’t help that Google Images does that, as this post is one of my top posts on the site, so the first three images are the ones I placed in the original post. That said, when I clicked the “More Info” button on the image you speak of, I was redirected to the Google search for the Grand Army of the Republic.

Please understand that I did not intend confusion, but to show readers the close resemblance between the two. I will not remove it, but will attempt to edit the image in question to see if it comes down on the search. Thanks again for letting me know.

Comment on The Medal of Honor in the Civil War by Barry Litchfield

The Grand Army of the Republic Medal has a date on the back of the clasp of 1886. I’m not sure if it was given out to members that same year or at some later date. My Great Grandfather also received that medal, and I now have possession of it. Unfortunately, this medal is shown in the upper left hand corner of the medals shown as “Civil War Medal of Honor” causing additional confusion for descendants that now are researching the medal that was handed down from a relative that served during the Civil War. Someone needs to remove that medal from that webpage and present it as a commemorative medal given to members of the Grand Army of the Republic.

The story about Sickles visiting his lost limb always make me smile. Talk about taking things in stride…..

I recall several pictures of veterans at the 50th reunion of the battle of Gettysburg that showed many who were missing arms and legs. Were those battlefield hospitals sites excavated and the limbs re-interred ?

Comment on This Week in the Civil War: Feb 18-24, 1863 by Jim Baughman

Great summaries of War action combined with other history. The Indianola incident sure put a scare into the Federals, until they realized the Rebels could not exploit their gain, and in fact were tricked out of their prize shortly thereafter.

Comment on Society for Military History Annual Meeting by Gary L. Dyson

During a trip to New Orleans last April I was disappointed to find very little in the way of memorials or commemorations scheduled for the 150th anniversary of the passing of the forts and surrender of the city.
