GDG- a grave question to be considered

[Jack Kelly]

Jack and Bob,

To put a Gettysburg slant on this thread, the "diplomat" was none other than 
Thomas Kane (BG commanding, 2nd Brigade, 2nd Div., XII Corps, at 
Gettysburg).  Kane was a personal friend of Brigham Young. In a remarkable 
journey, Kane traveled to California via Panama (IIRC), then over the 
Sierras -in winter- to Salt Lake City.  He arranged the agreements which 
prevented the Mormon War.  Of course, on the march and at Gettysburg, he was 
so ill that he had to travel by ambulance. At Gettysburg, he was 
incapacitated, so had very little to do with his brigade during the three 
days.

Regards,

Jack Kelly
