Talk:Abner Doubleday

Since TS&TR doesn't have page numbers and isn't divided into chapters I didn't bother with a footnote for the reference.

I should probably trim down the introduction a bit, shouldn't I? I knew so little about him, and what I found on Wiki was so interesting. I especially like that, after the humiliating demotion from corps command--which apparently was two parts Meade disliking him to one part Howard trying to pass the buck for getting driven down to Cemetery Ridge and leaving Gettysburg's townsfolk to Rebel occupation--he went before Wade and swore under oath that Meade was unfit for command. I guess once I got started it was hard to know where to stop.

Doubleday, L. Frank Baum, and Thomas Edison are sufficient to form the basis of a subcat for Theosophists (Theosophers? Theosophes?) within Category:Characters by Religion. Turtle Fan 03:35, January 24, 2012 (UTC)
