I am also a descendant of Admiral Dahlgren (through his son Charles Dahlgren) and was wondering if you could forward my email to Denise. I do family tree work as a hobby and would like to add her branch to our tree and would be interested in corresponding with her. Thank you for your photos and any assistance you may be able to provide.

Hodgson please email us, as we have quite a bit of info on him and other photos...My husband was actually named after him and the resemblance of all the hodgson men is quite remarkable.

We are researching Ulric Dahlgren´s ancestry in Sweden as a collaborative effoert on a genealogy website. One member stumbled upon these pictures by sheer luck. Tnaks for the photos!

Dahlgren Sat, 30 Sep 2006 23:35:10 +0000 http://civilwarcavalry.com/?p=240#comment-4265 Dear Sir, I was very interested to see your pictures and to read of your research into the life of my ancestor. My father, Ulric, is decended through the Admiral's(JAD) eldest son. One of the best places I've found for info about Ulric is the archives at Georgetown. His stepmother's papers were all donated to the school and can still be read there. JAD was apparently somewhat obsessed with his son's death and much of his autobiography dealt with Ulric. I would be glad to share with you any of the information my family has gathered about him and look forward to reading more about your exploits. Dear Sir,

I'm going to take a detour on my way to Richmond on Tuesday to visit the spot where Dahlgren was killed. It will round things out. You're welcome to visit Hollywood with me.

You’re welcome to visit Hollywood with me.

A Hodgson bio would be very interesting indeed.

Mackintosh Thu, 20 Jul 2006 19:49:30 +0000 http://civilwarcavalry.com/?p=240#comment-2321 Eric, I appreicate that very much on the Hodgson grave and hope I can join you this time next week in Richmond. I recall discussing Hodgson with the late Brian Pohanka in an email conversation we had probably around 2000. He told me he knew someone who was amassing a great deal of material from researching the ill-fated young Philadelphian, with the hopes of publishing a biography as Hodgson was an interesting character, with a highly mercurial personality--the so-called 7th Cavalry "regimental favorite" when sober but absolute hell when inebriated. Unfortunately, that work hasn't seen the light of day yet, Brian never revealed the name of the individual doing all the research, so I suppose he wished to remain anonymous for whatever reason. The Ulric Dahlgren grave marker is remarkably small, which is strange considering the nature of his death and the fact that the family couldn't give him a "proper" burial until after the war. Eric,

John, you're very welcome. I figured you might appreciate that one. I will see about getting you a bigger shot of it (they had to be pared down for space and loading considerations). I'm planning on sneaking off to Hollywood Cemetery next Thursday after my talk. You're welcome to join me if you like. Eric Thanks, guys.
