This is an interesting article, but it seems to lack almost any sources, could that be remedied by the author(s)? DavidHay 07:00, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion on Chantilly needs some work. Col. Farnsworth was wounded on August 30th at 2nd Bull Run, which battle is completely skipped over. According to William Todd's Regimental history "The Seventy-Ninth Highlanders New York Volunteers in the War of Rebellion" (Page 212) Lt. Col. David Morrison returned to the regiment on Monday morning, Sep. 1 after recovering from wounds received at James Island/Battle of Secessionville and was "at once given command of the brigade, in place of Colonel Farnsworth". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.145.19.4 (talk) 03:46, 24 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
