I am giving a talk on the 15th in a couple of weeks and would like to know how the regiment was composed.<br /><br />Also FYI, the initial formation of Gorman's Brigade had the 15th as the left center of 4 regiments, the 34th NY being to their left as the left flank. While crossing the Cornfield, filled with Hooker's dead, dying and wounded, the 34th "wandered south toward the Dunker Church, leaving the 15th as the left flank of the first line.<br /><br />Peter VilesAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02773896513853225309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31912334.post-26810030059250413472019-01-14T15:24:40.989-05:002019-01-14T15:24:40.989-05:00Hi, Unknown: I'd sure like to see images of wh...Hi, Unknown: I'd sure like to see images of what you have.
