Joining Kevin in self-promotion, I think my piece identifying the Alabama

the Vet's wound was healing would also be of interest to  some readers.

P.S,: The issue of naming a site for Sam Clemens on Lake Tahoe's  Nevada 
shore came up yesterday at the Nevada Sesquicentennial Planning Committee  
meeting.
