That is really neat, Big Jim!

Jed, I don't think anything has been passed down in my family, at least through the cousins I know. I am not even sure if Uncle Gus ever remarried or had any other children. Well, scratch that. Just checked at ancestry.com and found he had two children, who survived, before the one my ggrandparents adopted. Interesting, I now find I may have unknown "cousins" in Boulder County, CO! Thanks for asking!

You can read a list of every battle his company encountered during the war at this Natl. Parks site.

He and my ggranfather were part of Company "C" of the 6th Cavalry, Kansas.
