Botsford (1830-1918) fought in the 47th. I recently purchased a book from Amazon that includes the pamphlet he wrote in 1909 and then added to and revised in 1911 called Memories of the War of Secession. It also includes a roster for the 47th as well as an index and bibliography. It is an invaluable addition for us and for any scholar of Civil War history.

No question the battles in those days produced some horrific casualty counts with many regiments from both sides that were virtually destroyed and yet they fought on in most cases which leaves one amazed at their ability to endurance such extreme hardships.<br /><br />Christopher Christopher(aka Axebreaker)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13205928451375232865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649434062142208873.post-25568270510823443002013-08-13T17:02:33.135-07:002013-08-13T17:02:33.135-07:00Lovely, lovely work Christopher!
