Well done, Warren !!!!!!!

This man came close to being killed at Gettysburg (he was "mortally" wounded), Dennis.
That might have been another clue.

I had lots more to come ... the man's wife had the same name as a woman in a Thomas Hardy novel (Jude The Obscure). But Warren went and got it correct! Well done, mate.

I thought I'd need to go for days, Warren.

He was compared to a newsboy and called the Boy General. Married one day and enlisted the next. His wife followed him and became , basically, a battlefield nurse and ended up caring for him. He was found near dead by a Confed general and conveyed to Union lines. Wife died of typhus.

He became NY State Attorney General and was active in Republican politics and investigated the 1876 presidential election, the Hayes-Tilden election for irregularities and criticised his own 'side'.

John Fazio must be traveling because he would have jumped on that immediately. He let us run the love story of Francis and Arabella in the Surratt Courier several years ago. Great story!
