Re: Col. Henry Strong- Sharpsburg

The website below mentions that Strong's men recovered his body. Websites (except this one, of course) are not always reliable, but I think I have read it somewhere else, as well. Perhaps in James Gannon's excellent history of the 6th Louisiana "Irish Rebels, Confederate Tigers," or it might have been in William Frassinito's book "Antietam: A Photographic Legacy of America's Bloodiest Day." The regiment remained within a few hundred yards of where Strong fell until the next night so the men would have had opportunity to recover the body.
