Hi Everyone, Given the recent conversation on identifying soldiers, I thought folks might enjoy looking at this piece I found on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2206585952&category=13960 I have nothing to do with this sale; just thought it might be interesting to some list members.

How thoughtful of you to share this site, Mary Helen! I benefited from looking at the other Civil War items for sale as well.

I wonder if a CW soldier who "was found to have died" when he arrived at a Civil War Hospital in Washington DC, fronm the Battle of Petersbutrg VA, if in that case a death cert would have been made out, besides what was on the CW Surgeons' notes in personnel file? Probably not, because there were so many dying so fast...but just wondered if anyone would know. Thankds, Jeannette
