Hugh, would you be able to provide the dates of those articles? Maybe I can order them from the newspaper archives. I knew that Trudeau organized the defenses at Columbus and was highly regarded by both Polk and Johnston.

He served as volunteer ADC to both Johnston and Beauregard, and was wounded badly at Shiloh. However, Beauregard's post-action report in the OR mentions wounds of his valiant staff down to a horse, but no mention of Trudeau's wound, which put him out of action for almost a year as I understand it. Wonder if there were some issues between PGTB and Trudeau....

Wouldn't happen to have a cdv of Trudeau would you?

Thanks for your thoughts and input. Always appreciated.
