I'm not a forensic pathologist so really can't tell in the photo if the soldier was a victim of cannon fire or hogs. Could be both. Even if he wasn't victimized by ferrel hogs, they're numerous accounts in the literature of such attacks by these hogs. Just ran across the book, The Hogs of Cold Harbor: The Civil War Saga of Private Johnny Hess, CSA (Paperback)
by Richard Lee Fulgham
during an internet search. Will have to get it. Has anyone read this?
