We haven't been able to find our greatgreatgrandfather. He (legend ) went into the war and never came home and was thought to have been killed at Antitam. I remember the feelings I had at Gettysburg and have the same feelings as I peruse this site. I wonder how many of our men and women could go through the suffering and hardships today as our brave ancestors did.

I think it is good to perserve the memory of those who lost their lives. I had a great uncle from Texas serve in the Civil War, he too, lost his life. I have a letter he wrote to my grandmother, when he was leaving from Galveston, Sept. 1861. It is very special to me.

WOW! I want to thank you for a truly informative site. My Great-Great Grandfather, Phineas F. Knight was in the 21st. Massachusetts, and died at Chantilly. Reading the account of the battle, touched me deeply. It gave me a sence of pride that a relative of mine, fought so bravely, yet sadden me to think about the terrible circumstances these brave soldiers must have faced as they lay wounded and perhaps even dying, waiting for help to come. Thanks again for the energy and efforts used to put together this wonderful site !
