Another short bio,
I found it is simply a literal translation taken from there. So actually it is not a translation issue but more a question of copyright. - Olaf Fritz 17:54, 27 Aug 2004 (UTC)

message: I'm quite sure this is inaccurate.  There were railroads in Missouri, though they may well have not gone in helpful directions to supply Sedgwick's expedition.  For example, see Wikipedia's page on railroads in Missouri. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Missouri_railroads
There may also have been railroads in other states across the Mississippi  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.95.126.178 (talk) 20:00, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Did Grant repeatedly ask or reportedly ask "Is he really dead"? (Since "repeated" was used about a sentence or two before, I can see the word "repeatedly" being used by accident where "reportedly" was meant, but maybe repeatedly really was meant- only recourse to the reference/source will tell, I think.)

replies: text: Repeatedly. (Why would we use the cautionary "reportedly" for such an innocuous question as "Is he really dead"?) Hal Jespersen (talk) 16:38, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

message: Concerning the statement "Sedgwick commanded an expedition to establish a new fort on the Platte River in what is now Colorado". The Platte River does not run in Colorado, only in Nebraska. So it must be one of it's tributaries, either North Platte River or South Platte River. Which was it? אביהו (talk) 15:59, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

message: This page previously stated that John Sedgwick's grandfather, who he was named after, was a general in the American Revolution. But I could find no information about a Revolutionary War general named John Sedgwick. After a bit of searching, I found multiple websites stating that John Sedgwick in the Revolutionary War was Lt. Col. of the 14th Regiment of Connecticut Militia. So I was WP:BOLD and added a couple of citations, but I'm not sure how good quality they are. Anyways, I'm not sure where the previous information about him being a general came from, so there might be some information out there that I am unaware of. 107.196.29.81 (talk) 19:40, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
