["Charles Brown" <cbrown@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This cite claims that Weydemeyer was a Major General and on Lincoln's staff
(!). ( Doesn't appear to be a Germans gone wild site)

(1818-1866) Journalist in the Chicago area. Recruited an entire regiment of
German-Americans for the Union Army. Became a Major General on Lincoln's
staff. After war edited several labor papers in St. Louis.
