My GGGrandaddy stood up when called on, went down and contributed in the Battle of Cerro Gordo. It's past time to pay another visit.
WOW! I can’t believe they actually misspelled “Dragoons"! And on a headstone no less!
It wasn't misspelled. Te raised relief letter either broke off or was knocked off. I suppose it could have happened when the stone was made or in transport. The area where the D was ia a little rougher than the rest or the stone.
