Historical Background Note for Volume 1, Chapter 2: Phineas Magnetron refers to a "corpse-littered battlefield," which is one of several such American Civil War battlefields of the Battle of Chancellorsville, fought in Virginia in early May of 1863.

Unfortunately for the South, storied general Stonewall Jackson was mortally wounded in the battle as well.
