Union General DANIEL BUTTERFIELD has been given credit for Taps. Read the article on the Arlington National Cemetery's Taps Project at http://www.arlingtoncemetery.com/taps-pro2.htm for the complete story. It states "But there is no evidence to back up the story or the existence of a Capt. Ellicombe." "BUTTERFIELD gets the credit for taps. A few years after the Civil War, he resigned from the Army and spent his retirement at a country home in Cold Spring, N.Y., overlooking the Hudson River, within earshot of West Point. He could hear a bugler at the military academy sound taps each evening." Read the complete article. I have read this Ellicombe story on quite a few other lists, but did not feel I should say anything until I read it on the 'BUTTERFIELD" list. At least our own should know the true story. --part1_ee.c9b0f3e.27373496_boundary Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Return-Path: <BUTTERFIELD-L-request@rootsweb.com> Received: from rly-xa01.mx.aol.com (rly-xa01.mail.aol.com [172.20.105.70]) by air-xa05.mail.aol.com (v76_r1.23) with ESMTP; Sun, 05 Nov 2000 15:27:39 -0500 Received: from lists3.rootsweb.com (lists3.rootsweb.com [63.92.80.39]) by rly-xa01.mx.aol.com (v76_r1.19) with ESMTP; Sun, 05 Nov 2000 15:27:27 -0400 Received: (from slist@localhost) by lists3.rootsweb.com (8.10.1/8.10.1) id eA5KNsh00116; Sun, 5 Nov 2000 12:23:54 -0800 Resent-Date: Sun,
