I have a feeling Hess's account will supplant all others on this subject.<br /><br />Thanks for taking the time to comment.<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />JimmyJimmy Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07518362560292852052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7161176118626950263.post-74548811383906012062010-09-10T02:47:10.535-04:002010-09-10T02:47:10.535-04:00Glad to see there's a blog on the USCT's. ...Glad to see there's a blog on the USCT's. For anyone looking for a good account of what the men of the 43rd USCT's went through at the crater in Petersburg please read the book "No Quarter" Richard Slotkin.

I would have loved to have been there in person to pay my respects, but it looks like you and your compatriots did a great job of doing that. I hope you will come back to visit often and feel free to let me know of any upcoming events I can post on the blog.<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />Jimmy Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07518362560292852052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7161176118626950263.post-61617884634783588422010-06-20T19:45:18.339-04:002010-06-20T19:45:18.339-04:00By the way, James Henry Bronson and Alexander Kell...By the way, James Henry Bronson and Alexander Kelly, MOH New Market Heights were also born and raised in Indiana County.Chris Catalfamohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01383102625560785683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7161176118626950263.post-53556396645069249422010-06-20T19:43:25.444-04:002010-06-20T19:43:25.444-04:00This was a beautiful beautiful ceremony on a gorge...This was a beautiful beautiful ceremony on a gorgeous sunny and breezy day. This cemetery puts up hundreds of flags for Memorial Day and there were even more in the Veteran's Circle. I received a flag for Edward Yaw. Here is a photo from the Pittsburgh paper.
