Hello and thank you! These are all details from the links already provided in the article's reference section. I am basically just cleaning the article up from the illegible, non-internally linked, redundancy laden, grammatically incorrect state it was previously in. If I add new content, I will most certainly do so. ChuckDabs (talk) 17:05, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As I did previously, on this same article. ChuckDabs (talk) 17:09, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yes, I can add more in-line citations. ChuckDabs (talk) 17:17, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for taking a look, and adding. Made a few minor fixes! Welcome to Wikipedia! --Engineerchange (talk) 18:29, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I think it looks great! ChuckDabs (talk) 18:34, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There's so much more verifiable information out there on him too. I want to totally overhaul his page similar to 'George Pickett' or 'John Clem' another substantive American Major General's article, for instance. It seems like because he's an engineer and not an infantryman, his article has been overlooked for a while. However, unlike any other U.S. servicemember, he both fought the rebels and defended the East coast from German U-Boats, what a dichotomy! ChuckDabs (talk) 18:49, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@ChuckDabs: definitely a ton of military articles that are stubs where their role was more supportive and less "in the action" during the wars. I wrote Charles R. Train and Henry L. Howison last year. Definitely fun to pull together facts for these overlooked military biographies. Cheers, --Engineerchange (talk) 19:05, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
