The Capture of the Confederate Colors of the 9th Alabama by the 35th New York at Antietam, is noted in a letter that was reprinted in a newspaper article. The person that wrote the letter committed a pair of murders in Quebec after supposedly returning from serving in the Federal army. In another article it is stated that he in fact had boasted about jumping his bounty and had engaged in the crimping business. The article/letter is reprinted from another paper, the Montreal Witness.

It is unlikely that the 35th NY met the 9th Alabama at Antietam, but the 35th NY did capture some Confederate Colors. Can anyone provide details on the capture? The man that said he made the capture was Stanislas Beneaux (aka Stanislaus Barreau).
