26- Isaac Munroe St John, after successsfully running the Confederate mining and Nitre bureau, took over the Commisary general from the much hated Northtop, and was promoted to brigadier general to boot. there is universal consensus that this change in command brought about much needed improvement in feeding the armies, but was a case of too little too late;

27- Protecting Hatteras Inlet were Confederate Fts Hatteras & Clark;

28- Col Beall commanded the CSA Marine Corps;

29- Theodore Roosevelt, even at six yrs of age, a great admirer of President Lincoln, watched his funeral cortege the afternoon of Tuesday 25th of April, '65, as it approached Union Square;

30- Pickett's friend, Lt James Longstreet, handed him the flag when he was hit by fire. Brandishing the flag, Lt Pickett went with the soldiers over the parapet and into the castle- a prominent American victory.
