- Hi Hog Farm, looks like another great article in this series. I'll do a proper review later but a few initial queries - Dumelow (talk) 07:43, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
- I think ALT0 would be better with "officer" instead of member, it was not uncommon for pioneers to go into battle armed with axes.
- "Franklin cost the 2nd and 6th Missouri (Consolidated) 164, which was over 60 percent of the unit's strength.", I think there should be a "casualties" after 164?
I thought "ax" was the preferred American use, but a quick Google shows either is acceptable so it's probably is alright.
article created 21 June; is well written and reliably sourced offline; AGF on no copyright violation of offline sources; hooks are mentioned and cited; A QPQ has been done. If you could just let me know about my two points above - Dumelow (talk) 06:11, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
