15th Mass Infantry Company K



Hersey Estes, great-great-grandfather, served (1861-1863) in all the major battles of the Army of Potomac from Ball's Bluff through Antietam where >50% of his regiment was lost in 30 minutes when outflanked in the West Woods....no other regiment suffered a greater loss for the day....I'm lucky to be here!
