Daniel Adams Butterfield - Composer of Taps

I had previously recieved a story about the bugle call "Taps", which I posted and have now discovered to be incorrect. I have recently removed it on the advice of a reader. The real story - according to Wikipedia - is quoted below. For more of the story go to - ttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Butterfield

"While the Union Army recuperated at Harrison's Landing, Virginia, from its Seven Days of retreating, Butterfield experimented with bugle calls and is credited with the composition of Taps, probably the most famous bugle call ever written. He wrote Taps to replace the customary firing of three rifle volleys at the end of burials during battle. Taps also replaced Tattoo, the French bugle call to signal "lights out". Butterfield's bugler, Oliver W. Norton of the 83rd Pennsylvania Volunteers was the first to sound the new call. Within months, Taps was sounded by buglers in both the Union and Confederate armies."

Thanks from War Zone to the reader who discovered the true story behind the bugle call.
