They have a whole section devoted to Jackson, that's where I found out the name of his horse.

Never know where you'll find something cool....

I've made small stabs of research at this question. I do know it wasn't Ames. He received his MoH for his actions at the battle of 1st Manassas.

[MG JB Gordon]

these where the only men given the MOH for Malvern Hill:

WILSON, JOHN M.
OSBORNE, WILLIAM H.
RAFFERTY, PETER
RIPLEY, WILLIAM Y. W.
TOBIN, JOHN M.
BRONNER, AUGUST F

and none where from Maine.

I think the original question was worded wrong. I do believe Ames is the Answer.

If that's the case, then it very well could be Sir.

Gordon is correct, while I am incorrect, for it is Ames who I was looking for, and my apologies for causing such confusion

Well then you should just stop growing old. :laugh:

I looked back at the pictures from my Civil War trip this last summer and I got to the Malvern Hill section and it seems like I read the sign to Ames wrong. Any who, I believe Gordon has the right of way.
