I just want to know if any of the dead Civil War soldiers' ancestors showed up. And I want to see the pictures, too.

Relatives of Pvt. Henry L. Sennett, 24, were present to recognize their ancestor, who, along with the four other Union soldiers, had been all lost for 145 years.

They included Thomas Shugars of Salix, Penn.; his son, Jim Shugars; and grandson, Ian Shugars.

Formally recognizing the other Union soldiers were Charles Augur of Lexington of the Gibbon Burke Sons of Union Veterans; and Dennis St. Andrew of Cary, senior vice commander, Department of N.C., Sons of Union Veterans.

Sennett was a member of the 9th Pennsylvania Cavalry along with Pvt. Calvin Simpson, 24; and Pvt. David Woods, 27; Cpl. Reed Alcorn, 21, and Pvt. Mathew Ross, 20, both of the 8th Indiana Cavalry. They were on a foraging mission as part of the Union Army in Richmond County.

Nice picture, thanks, and it looks like it was an excellent event. Perfect weather across the state recently!

My GGGrandad was in the Indiana 8th.

As to some of the other comments - both sides were equally guilty of travesties in this bloody mess. As such then the maker will set the price for the deeds of each. Our duty is to honor their service - on both sides.

I’m surprised that nobody complained about wearing Confederate Uniforms and the smoke from the Muskets.
