I had a GFather with the federals working on the canal.Captain Waldo P Goff,107 USCI.What are the best sources of information on the subject?
Goff,in the railroad business before the war,was ordered to gather a detail of 100 negroes from nearby Ft.Brady and assist in the construction.Apparently subjected to harrasing Confederate artillery,Goff was slightly wounded,from which he received his pension many years later.
