Another Captain Munson

This cousin, Captain Samuel  Munson, was in the Army for the period of the Civil War. This commendation issued when he died indicates that he served on the Pacific Coast and on the Plains.


I bet he looked like John Wayne.

    Captain Samuel Munson is a local hero here in central Nebraska!! He named the small town where I grew up (Cotesfield, NE). He was the first commander of Fort Hartsuff here in central Nebraska.

    Thank you so much for your comment. I could not find Cotesfield, NE. I found Fort Hartsuff in Burwell, NE. I may drive by to see the Fort. Its good the Fort was built with concrete. Several original buildings are still standing.
