Lincoln's secret plan on the fate of freed slaves was sealed for 50 years to be sealed again for 50 more. Did the essence of his plans ever become disclosed?

Well, there's been a lot of debate about it over the years, including 
numerous proposed locations, so I'm not sure I'd say it can't get 
contentious. At heart, though, it's really just an exercise in photo 
interpretation.

I don't know a whole lot about them, aside from the fact they were generally 
(or always) privately purchased, and seem to have been at least reasonably 
common. How many men had them, I'm not sure anybody knows.

As far as %'s go I would think it's fair to say that most regiments if not all at Gettysburg or any other battle for that matter gave some sort of supreme sacrifice.( Little Billy may be the one exception at Gettysburg ) They each deserve the utmost respect in this regard. Far too many men and women gave the final sacrifice in any one of these Companies,Regiments, Brigades, Division's and Corps. To try and measure the actions or bravery of a certain group based on %, I'm just not buying it. Consider Harpers Ferry, those guys didn't turn out to be cowards after all did they?

Just a personal feeling which is not intended to offend or ridicule anyone on these boards. I know that some did not stand up as well as others and should'nt be held in the same regard. Other then that enjoy your day

There will be something coming out on this topic. I was on an Antietam tour this past year and a gentlemen on the tour had a couple of dog tags with him. One was very interesting because it was found at Antietam and the man is buried in the cemetary there. He wrote about this topic and hopefully it will be something we can use to learn more about these suttler tags.

Hope that is helpful, Ed

For those who subscribe to Gettysburg Magazine, Joe Stahl has written a
number of articles on individual dog tags. He is a collector, and
researches about the owner of these tags. He has an article in Issue 35,
and it says that he has written six altogether. Not sure whether he has
done an investigation of the extent of use of dog tags during the war.
