I am the great great grandson of General A.B. Nettleton. I wanted to just update you on one of his accomplishments he had after the war. As a manager for the Northern Pacific railroad he helped secure the existence of Yellow Stone National Park, much to my surprise, I found out just recently on the National Park Service website.
If you could make this small addition, it would be greatly appreciated by my family and A.B. Nettleton. Thank you for your time, Peter Nettleton.
