Official institutional sources disagree on a citation detail. The inherited canonical wording and the current Society wording are retained separately with supporting source records; no silent overwrite was performed.
Canonical action date follows the current reference profile and corroborating U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs record (October 20, 1869). The inherited record and current U.S. Army citation index render October 20, 1863. Both official variants, the inherited row, citations, provenance, and checksums remain preserved; no General Order comparison is claimed.
