"Mr. Lincoln's War" regimental scale rules. |

Don't let the folks in Pocahontas County catch you spelling Allegheny with two "a"s! |

That's the way the scenario book spelled. I thought it was wrong too. Should have checked. |

Sounds like post-war revisionism to me. I checked the Official Records (Series I, Vol. 5, pp. 456-468) and in all 10 reports, both Federal and Confederate, the spelling is "Allegany" with two "a"s. |

Well the Mountains can be spelt three ways Allegheny, Alleghany and Allegany, on the face of it is a 2-1 win for the Double A! Perhaps we should ask this guy? He was there! link Apparently – Allegheny – is the oldest spelling taken from the French version of the Lenape (Delaware) First Nation word for "fine river". See hang around TMP and you learn stuff! |
