Found in "History of Union County, Arkansas" by Juanita Green (1954)
as Appendix Q an "Interview of Isaac Mattox of his Experience During the Civil War",
the following;
Mattox was a member of Co. B, 26th NCT at Gettysburg, he states on pg. 139
"McManus was shot down with the Colors"
This memoir is the only source that I have found that names McManus as a Colorbearer
at Gettysburg. That would not normally be a problem, however, I found four men named
McManus who were all wounded at Gettysburg. Problem. Which one is the Colorbearer?
The men all bearing the last name of McManus are as follows;
Columbus
Edwin H.
George W.
Henry J.
Edwin is of Co. E, the others Co. B
Can anyone solve the problem?
