Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; current rendered profile variants documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.
The current reference profile dates the action to October 20, 1869. The inherited record, current Army citation index, and Department of Veterans Affairs cemetery record use October 29, 1869. Canonical metadata follows the current Society recipient profile while all competing official and inherited October 29 renderings remain explicitly preserved; no General Order comparison is claimed.
