@PattyHankins not an answer, but I think it's amazing how much I suddenly care about parts of history I had never given a second thought to. I'm knee deep in 1863 Civil War history right now!
@kairyssdal I've been saying this forever. Even a genius visionary (which he's not) can't be an insufferable jerk all the time and continue to be successful.
@nomdeb waving from NJ! Maybe you can reach out to the NJ State Library? They have a large collection of photos, and might be interested in these. They are a cool piece of NJ history! https://www.njstatelib.org/

@bethroots no, the surname here is Van Steenburgh - he served with the 156 NY Volunteers. It would have been amazing if we were researching the same guy!
