My personal thanks
goes out to everyone who submitted the information within these pages. I'd like to
especially thank my wife who painstakingly
helped transcribed most of the material for me. As you can tell, we have a long way to go to fill in the gaps.
Our main objective is to raise awareness and educate the public
about the historical significance these men took part in shaping
America as we know it today. We want to create a 'hyperlinked'
history of Cole's Cavalry.
Unlike a traditional history book, which forges a set path
through time, hyper-linking allows readers to follow any path
through history they chose providing our viewers a single internet
source to learn the life history of each of the soldiers of Cole's
Calvary, from who they were and what they did before the war,
their actions during the
war, and their lives after the war.
If you would like to contribute any
material no matter the size of the story, (prewar, war, or postwar) for our archives - such as memoirs, photographs, and letters on the members of Cole's Cavalry, please
contact
us at John@emmitsburg.net.
As always, if you have any information that could help us expand or improve our
archives on the knowledge of the solders of Cole's Calvary, please send it to us.
Sincerely,
John A. Miller; Civil War
Historian, Emmitsburg Historical
Society
