		While it is impossible to state with certainty, King appears to have been much closer to his uncle Charles and Aunt Ellen, than he was to his own parents, and there are indications that Charles and Ellen may actually have raised him along with his siblings Julia and Reuben.
		King witnessed some of the most memorable events of the war, including Gettysburg, Atlanta, and the March to the Sea, and although his letters provide little actual description of the engagements, they are full of thought-provoking -- and occasionally poignant -- asides.
		King was a particularly interesting, staunchly Republican commentator on the Presidential election of 1864, and thereafter it appears that his political leanings veered ever more into the Radical camp.

	Archived - Where Did King Josiah Die? - TheologyWeb Campus
		In the 2 Kings account of King Josiah's death, Josiah is killed at Megiddo and his body is brought from Megiddo to Jerusalem, but in the 2 Chronicles story, Josiah doesn't die until he reached Jerusalem.
		The 2 Kings author uses a word for "killed" (muwth) that everywhere in the Old Testament means "slay, or kill," and never does it mean "mortally wound." There are many words for "wound" that could have been used--and are used often elsewhere.
		Josiah's death here bears a haunting reesemblance to the death of another king of the Bible -- Ahab (1 Kings 22).
