Hi David,
Gustav von Blucher who was in Civil War was my gt grandfather. My grandfather was his son by his 2nd marriage. Gustav was born in Copenhagen in Denmark in 1842 and after a short time in the Prussian Army went to the US where he joined the Union Army's fight against the Confederates. He returned to Europe in abt 1870 in the hope of joining in the Franco-Prussian war but it ended before he got there! He then returned to the US until about 1875, returning to Denmark sometime before 1885 where he married Rigmor Peterssen. Any information you can give me about his time in the service of the US Union Army would be much appreciated.
Regards
Christina Blucher-Manning
