My great great grandfather Christopher Darius Gorman see attached is the guy behind Old Abe. He played the fife and I’ve read that Old Abe Loved to hear Yankee Doodle Dandy played (birds love flutes). I believe that CD Gorman was Old Abe’s Musician, he is in just behind Old Abe in the Vicksburg photo. There are 4 unknown soldiers in the photo and I would be happy to help ancestor verify if their ancstor is one by photo comparrisons. Old Abe retired one battle after CD Gorman was shot with a 58 cal mini ball through his left arm and shoulder exiting his right shoulder. He was found three days later and spent a year in a Memphis hospital and survived gang green. They no longer had her favorite musician to tame her and call her back to camp.
