Shouldn't this article be renamed, since his work with the Mormon Battalion was only one component of a very important carreer? Perhaps James Allen (U.S. Army) ? Bill Whittaker ( talk) 20:05, 12 April 2010 (UTC) reply

• After consulting with the creator of this article (see my talk page), decided a rename is a good idea. However, "U.S. Army" might be confusing, since there is already a James Allen (Medal of Honor). Will go with James Allen (Army engineer). Bill Whittaker ( talk) 12:59, 14 April 2010 (UTC) reply
