My ancestor says he was wounded at Fredericksburg, but its not clear how much his regiment Pennsylvania 50th was actually involved in the Battle of Fredericksburg. What is clear to me is that he and regiment were involved in the Wilderness or Spotsylvania. Do you think that most veterans like my ancestor would have named battles as we do today ? Do you think he just referred to Fredericksburg because of its proximity to where he was wounded ? Opinions ?
