In his almost six decades of military service, BG Gustavus Loomis served in five wars - the War of 1812, the Black Hawk War, the Mexican American War, the Seminole Wars, and the Civil War. During the Civil War he was retired and then called back to duty, serving in administrative positions in uniform into 1866. Loomis was known as a devout Christian.

A 400-page biography of Gustavus Loomis was published in 2011, For Christ and Country: A Biography of Brigadier General Gustavus Loomis, (Greenville, SC: Ambassador International Publishers).— Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.85.196.19 (talk)

Not done For information to appear on Wikipedia, it needs to be sourced, to pass our requirement of verifiability. Please provide reliable sources for the edits you want made. — crh ₂₃ (Talk) 08:03, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't realise that you intend that book to be used as the source, I have reopened the request.

Not done. No one is going to read a 400 page book to cite one sentence. Either provide scans of specific pages or make the addition yourself. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 21:58, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
