Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; rendered current reference profile variants documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.

The current reference profile records October 30, 1864, while the inherited record and the official U.S. Army Medal of Honor index record November 30, 1864. The federal Army date controls the canonical field; the Society date remains preserved as a current-source discrepancy. The current historical action-place wording replaces only the controlled canonical geocoder field; the complete inherited place remains preserved. Additional authoritative source evidence is preserved to resolve or document the primary-source discrepancy without silently overwriting either source. No General Order verification is claimed; the exact-order gate remains pending.
