Dr. J. H. Shannon, of Saco, Me. (Box 450), who was captain of United States Volunteers in the War between the States, makes inquiry for some of his namesakes who were in the Southern army, and would like to hear from or of them. He mentions Capt. Harry Shannon, of Sweatt's Mississippi Battery; A. M. Shannon, chief of scouts under Wheeler; Col. M. A. Shannon, who, he thinks, served in the Georgia campaign in 1864; and Col. T. J. Shannon, in the Western Army. He hopes that some of these comrades can respond.
