Please contact me if you have any information about Capt. Curtiss.

Virgil was wounded at Antietam near the West Woods on September 17, 1862. He was transferred from a field hospital to the hospital in Frederick, MD. He died there on September 20, 1862, and was buried in the hospital cemetery. Years later his remains were removed to the Antietam National Battlefield Cemetery, grave number 2404.

I have seven letters he wrote home, in which he describes his army experience.
