One of them is Garth WIlkinson James, wounded at Fort Wagner. I entered him in the SUVCW database today, and was surprised to see nobody had done it earlier. We would be happy to send you a picture of his grave and to show you his listing in the database. Thank you, Tom Mueller Oak Creek, Wis. To the 54th Massachusetts website:

Reading these descriptions of real life tragedy should make us feel wary of violence and also thankful that we are still alive.

As North and South came together over an increasingly selective interpretation of what the Civil War had been about, the opportunity to reconstruct the nation on a new basis of equality was thrown away.
