I’m Canadian and my great great grandmother lost a cousin in the 110th Regiment, Pennsylvania Infantry at Gettysburg and another at a battle in Maryland. Her brother was with the 14th Independent Battery, Massachusetts Light Artillery and he lost an eye and a hand at the Battle of Ball’s bluff... An early engagement of the war.
