BTW - Stephan Crane who wrote the Red Badge of Courage was living in a house in Port Jervis, NY at the time. That is just across the river from where I live. There is a park in the center of town with a Civil War monument and some canons. It is alleged that Crane interviewed members of the Orange Blossoms (144th N.Y. Volunteer Infantry) for the story.
