Written by Peter Yont, Company E. The roster does not have a Peter Yont in Company E. It does have Sergeant Patrick Alonzo Yount who died in Washington D.C. and probably like the other men was buried in Arlington. I will leave it to you to determine how to handle whether Peter Yont was really Patrick Yount. Here is the info on Sergeant Yount: Born May 1, 1843. Resided in Catawba County where he enlisted at age 19, July 4, 1862, for the war. Mustered in as a Sergeant. Reported present through October 31, 1863. Wounded in the head (fractured skull) and captured at or near Rappahannock Station, Virginia, on or about November 7, 1863. Hospitalized at Washington D.C., November 9, 1863. Died in hospital at Washington on November 20, 1863, of wounds.

Michael Robert Patterson was born in Arlington and is the son of a former officer of the US Army. So it was no wonder that sooner or later his interests drew him to American history and especially to American military history. Many of his articles can be found on renowned portals like the New York Times, Washingtonpost or Wikipedia.
