The following is taken from the 33rd., Illinois, Regimental History.
First Lieut. Amandus L. Bush was an officer full of good nature and enterprise. He was inclined to take things as they came without complaining, which is an excellent characteristic of a soldier. Bush was always ready to share his last dollar and only cracker with any soldier, and if the good wishes of his comrades are worth anything, his chickens will all lay golden eggs. He is in the poultry business in Escondido, California.

Hi Dennis.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to change the subject on your blog but I found you from a posting you made in 11 May 2011, reference the 'Figurehead' of the 'Chesapeake'.
I served a five year apprenticeship and a year as a journeyman (1953 - 1959) in Sheerness Dockyard, Kent, England. Not only were the figureheads of both the Chesapeake and the Shannon displayed in the dockyard, but my father-in-law was tasked periodically with repainting them!
I am at the moment attempting to draw a series of ships that are central to the history of the US - and have just completed the 'Susan Constant'.
I also have a particular interest in the use of 'balloons' used by the US military during the Civil War.
I've become a follower, hope you don't mind - your blog is fascinating!
