[edit] Union Army

I understand the relevancy of your admonition that I should cite a secondary source that refers to the Union Army, Armies, or Forces as "National." I'll do some looking but the term is somewhat dated and most histories of the Civil War written after the Nineteenth Century don't use it. In my opinion, since people such as Grant and Lincoln used the term frequently, it deserves mention. Whether historians know it as the "National Army" seems to me irrelevant; people at the time knew it as such. Your thoughts?Khan_singh 07:07, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

I think the footnote to Grant's Memoirs is a good substitute in this case, establishing colloquial usage. Thanks. Hal Jespersen 15:29, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Halleck/Sherman

I'm curious, do you know if Halleck and Sherman ever reconciled after their spat in April 1865? Sherman only mentions Halleck's name once in his Memoirs after the incident, so I suspect not.Khan_singh 06:49, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, but I have no info to offer. I don't have complete biographies on either of them. You might check with User:Eb.hoop, who was the primary author of the Sherman bio. Hal Jespersen 14:50, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
