<t> I found 2 sources. The 56 men and seven survivors came from a bio I found the says their source was Confederate Military History, Volumn III, 1899. The second source is Corse's own battle report which I found both on google. His numbers are a little different. But you can decide how to write it ...

<t> Brigadier General Robert Selden Garnett (b.1819, d. 1861) He has the dubious honor of being the first general killed during the Civil War. Garnett was born December 16, 1819 in Essex County, Virginia. He attended West Point and graduated with his cousin Richard Brooke Garnett in 1841 and ...

<t> I read about sheridan either being born in New York or Ireland. He claims he was born in Albany. But it is still debated among historians. So with limited space, I decided to go with what most historians accept instead of going over the two theories while taking up too much space. I guess ...

<t> jkBluesman, thanks. I will work on Robert Selden Garnett. My other project of photographing the Shenandoah will pick up speed once Spring arrives. The Valley is much nicer when there are leaves and blossoms everwhere. <br/>

Batteline, thanks.&nbsp; I will start on Robert Selden Garnett.&nbsp; He wasn't in the war very long dying in July 1861.&nbsp; Shouldn't be too hard but I am a slow writer and Spring is almost here.&nbsp;

Hello Battleline. I would like to work on Robert S. Garnett if you haven't all ready done or want to work on Garnett.

Are there other G's out there that need to be done?

<r> The bio looks good except for the July 1 Booneville battle. I went back and checked again. Wikipedia does get the spelling wrong but my other references agree. Here are the links.<br/>

<t> Hello. I have been getting through the holidays for the last couple months and made it through the other side! Happy new year! <br/>

Santa brought me a book for Christmas. Generals in Gray by Ezra Warner. I must have been nice at some point last year. I would like to start on some CSA ...

<t> Fredericksburg battlefield I feel is worth the trip. Most noticible is that the field in which the Union assualted the stone wall at Marye's Heights is now residential. Some of the stone wall that still exists and the road behind it. <br/>

<t> I am enjoying reading bios by battleline and was wondering, Gil, if there will be some award for most bios written. Battleline, you are a bio writing machine.<br/>
<br/>
I did want to mention something about Lomax. VA Tech is still Virginia Polytechnic Institute (it is also known as Va Tech ...

<t> Autumn will be interesting this year. We have been having a bad drought this year and people are saying there will not be much color in the Valley. I am an optimist when it comes to autumn. Every tree is affected differently by rain amounts so there will still be some good color.<br/>

I have heard that sometimes the best attack is a good defense. Sounds something that Longstreet would say.

But it was the Union doing nothing. Maybe that was Hooker.

<t> Brig Gen Montgomery Dent Corse (b.1816, d.1895) He was born on March 14, 1816 in Alexandria, Virginia. During the 1830s, Corse helped organize the militia in Alexandria. He became Captain of Company B, 1st Regiment Virginia Volunteers during the Mexico War. After the war, he traveled to ...

<t> Hi Gil. Sorry for the delay in the response. May 2 is the real date. I not sure where March 2 came from, my apologies. I am back home for a few weeks before going out to do more art shows. My next bio will be Montgomery D Corse, unless someone has done it. <br/>

1 year, 200 bios and ...

The bio looks great. I am heading out for awhile to Baltimore for an art show and some good weather. I will tune in later.

<t> I just wanted to send an update. I bought a Sandisk flash memory card 2GB $30 and successfully transferred lastest version from old comp to new comp by USB ports. <br/>

It was bit confusing at first loading/unloading the memory card. But now everything is working great. Goodbye cds!<br ...
