The Baldwin-Whitehall Patch has partnered with the Baldwin Historical Society to bring you a weekly trivia question that delves into our area's colorful past.

Pat Lombardi and Patty Woehler, co-presidents of the society, generously write the questions and provide the pictures.

Here is this week's question:

This image of Lt. George H. Fetterman of Company E, 101 Pennsylvania Regiment, is the only known visual depiction of the Baldwin-born and -bred veteran.

Fetterman was wounded in battle, but not much else is known about the local hero except that he lived out his life in then-Baldwin Township.

Which war did Lt. Fetterman fight in?

Looks like Civil War uniform to me.
If I recall from trips to Gettysburg, 101st PA was a big part of history during that war.
