Todd --

I aprreciate your feelings. Miles provided an excellent summary of your ancestor's service. There's more to tell about each of the battles and campaigns in which your ancestor was engaged. For example, defense of South Mountain (Battle of Boonsboro MD, Sept. 14, 1862) is a great story -- heavy losses step by step as men of Robert Rodes' Alabama Brigade fall back fighting over the rocks to the crest of the ridge. Each one of the battles Miles listed is worth a chapter in a book.
