May 21, 2018 9:56 PM -

May 21, 2018 9:58 PM -
PeterT: I like Matt's comment that if O'Rourke or Haslett or Weed had lived the 140th New York may have received more of the glory. Chamberlain could write about it long and hard.

PeterT: Yep
May 21, 2018 10:07 PM -
Dom71: lets face it the man could write

Pat Young: It was really Shara who told his story
