The true origin of Taps comes from the Civil War in July of 1862, after the Seven Days battles near Richmond, Virginia, the wounded Commander of the 3rd Brigade, 1st Division, V Army Corps, Army of the Potomac, General Daniel Butterfield reworked, with his bugler Oliver Wilcox Norton, another bugle call, "Scott Tattoo," to create Taps. Later, A Col. James A Moss substituted playing "Taps" for the firing of three volleys over the grave of one of his soldiers due to the proximity of his Artillery unit to the enemy.
