I just acquired a copy of the Fredericksburg WOTR vol 21 official records book. While I was fanning thru the pages on page 535 I saw the word York for New York crossed out and the word Jersey added for New Jersey to the outside column of the page. It looks like it was done in ink. The book looks like it was never read. I am wondering if anyone has a copy of the same book and if the addition was made in their copy. I looked up the soldiers name on the database and there is a name from NJ. This has me wondering why or how did the previous owner of this copy discover this misprint or error and could this be a one in a billion discovery. Was the correction done by them or was it done by someone else, (publisher)? For someone to figure this out they would have to be a complete genius about the Battle of Fredericksburg to be able pick up a detail like this. Thanks for your thoughts.
