Great talk, Mr. Morgan. Thanks for a thorough explanation of an event I never knew much about.

My great grandfather Israel Bendell , born in England and recruited in Philadelphia was a member of Colonel Bakers’s California Brigade was captured at Ball’s Bluff . From what I understand many of the California Brigade were immigrant Englishmen from Philadelphia and New York.

I had the privilege to be on a tour lead by James Morgan he is very knowledgeable on the Battle Ball's Bluff. He is also a very nice guy.
