@CivilWarOTD @USArmy 1st post commander at Fort Sill as well. I have the photo of him standing at the Bluffs at what would become Fort Sill and have stood at or near that spot many times. Quite the piano player too from what I’ve read of him.

After the war, Reynolds joined the Egyptian Army rather than live in a defeated south, and drank himself to death in a seedy Alexandria boarding house. The location of his remains is unknown. He is the subject of a book entitled “Soldier of Misfortune”. #ConfederateHeritageMonth
@CivilWarOTD @militaryhistori @FordsTheatreNPS Very true about Johnson being the formal end. Had no desire to nit-pick with you, believe me. There were some on the CSA side who hoped that Lincoln's death might, somehow, bring about a reversal of their fortunes. Fortunately they were wrong.
@CivilWarOTD Check the first Photo, looks like Gen. Schuyler Hamilton to me.
@CivilWarOTD Unless I'm missing something, isn't that a picture of Schuyler Hamilton? Not Robert Anderson
1st Sgt. William Maloney Co. A, 85th Illinois Infantry Buried in Oak Grove Cemetery in Manito, IL William was born in Loudoun County, VA in 1832. He was a married farmer living in Manito when he enlisted as a private in Jul 1862. He was promoted to 1st sergeant.
