Model Company – An Uncommon Look at the Common Civil War Soldier

Thanks for sharing this. Just a note that the project (including visualizations) is open source: https://github.com/meredithmmyers/model-company

It is strange to think of blue eyes to be the most common eye color for Union Soldiers. Now that seems less common for Americans. Perhaps that is due to where the Union Soldiers were coming from demographicaly.

The close proximity of recruits reminds me of the Pals battalions in ww1

this is great! Thanks!
