Pam & Pvt.:

Done some research on this myself. Many may not know it, but back in 1996 when CWi started, and before CWi obtained the domain address "civilwarinteractive.com" we were "almshouse.com" - named for the GB almshouse. I have found no records at all indicating that the almshouse was used as a hospital, but Pvt. you are correct about Spangler. There were a few others as well.

I have to dig out the papers I have somewhere. I know we still have the original layout of the almshouse as well as the patient list at the time of the battle. If I recall, those records indicate that Jenny Wade's father was a patient there at the time due to "chronic masturbation" - no joke! Let you know what I find...
