Fredericksburg150 – That “other guy” on the Confederate right: Capt. Mathias Winston Henry
No, not about Southern Unionists or the Valley… but there’s a tie to the Valley… just wait for it a bit. In Don Troiani’s print, “Bronze Guns and Iron Men”, there is an officer other than John Pelham, just behind the Napoleon, with binoculars in hand.

October 30, 2012 by Robert Moore
Writing when the mood strikes… I should write a post specifically focused on that… but… not today.
