I'm watching Ed Bearss do a tour of Antietam on YouTube. I'm wondering if I understand him correctly. When the bodies were later disinterred, they people doing it were paid by the large bones - skull, pelvis, humerus, femur and not the small bones like phalanges (fingers) and other small bones in the body.
Am I understanding that correctly? If so, was that for all battlefields or only Antietam? And if I am understanding it correctly, than there are a lot of bits left of soldiers in these battlefields.
