Hey TR. While doing research for How Few Remain, I found a little paradox, or maybe an In Joke, or error. When the Siege of Louisville starts off, General Willcox is informed that a Colonel Sully of the 1st Minnesota Volunteers is in trouble. Historically, there was a Colonel Alfred Sully in the American Civil War, who commanded the 1st Minnesota Volunteers at the Battle of Antietam (By the way, ALL US and CS commanders in HFR fought in that battle.) However, here's the problem. Alfred Sully died in 1879 (age 57), and I can't find out what he died of. All I can find is that he died while in command of his troops.

What I was thinking was to create him as a minor character and put a literary comment pointing out the similarities. What say you?
