. ….prostituting his reputation as a soldier for political purposes…
Hooker indeed !
What a telling insight into the political factionalism that made such havoc in the efforts of a mighty and otherwise fine army.
Thanks Larry,
Regards, Phil

Hi Larry,
This is off topic, but I've been watching some Civil War movies, like the Copper heads, & in it are huge lists of casualties & fatalities. Loved ones would scour the lists hoping not to see their loved ones!? Also this occurred in Gone with the Wind! If you could in the future find such a list in a contemporary newspaper of that timeframe!?
It would be very moving, & telling!?
Thanks,
MD

Hi M.D. Probably another week or ten days before detailed casualty lists start to appear. When they do, you got them.
