A hearty welcome to you. Enjoy your time on this forum. There are a wide variety of folks here. We haven't traded shots (yet): but there is great camaraderie and a plethora of information.

Our splendid regiment is almost destroyed. We have had nearly 400 men killed and wounded in the battles. Seven of our officers were shot and three killed in yesterday's battle and nearly 150 men killed and wounded. All from less than 300 engaged. The men have stood like iron....Maj.
