Rick, I certainly will look at the google book. Sounds interesting.

As mentioned earlier, I couldn't let the ordnance report go, so I kept it on the page, and I also made free use of your name. Hope you don't mind. If so, I will rewrite. As you so concisely described the google book, l left that as it was and pasted it on the page, too.

The page is online at

http://freepages.history.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~taleese/soldiers_rest_vicksburg/index_of_veterans/wahl_john_m/wahl_john_m.htm

but not linked to anything, so if you want changes, I will be glad to make them. Many thanks for the help.
