I know of no books on the subject, however www.civilwar.nps.gov only lists 4 Fay's enrolled in TN units. I checked an alternate Fay spelling derived from on one of these guy's listing, and Fahey yields a Patrick Fahey in the 10th TN INF and a Patrick Fahey in Fisher's Company of Nelson's TN Artillery. It also lists 35 people by the name Patrick Fay who served in the civil war; none of these are noted as from TN, but assuming your Patrick served in a Tennessee unit, I would suggest also looking into the 12th US infantry and the 2nd US Veteran Infantry which may have rostered some folks from TN. Also, if you're ever in that area, I believe the town of Wartrace, TN has a Civil War museum with some information on the area around there. So, did Patrick leave a widow? What was her name? If she ever filed for a widow's pension, she most likely listed his regiment in the application documents. Post her name to the list, I believe I might have access to the index via Ancestry.com, but someone may have access to a better index.

Would anyone know of a published book, or printed list of the names of those that died in the Civil War that were from Bedford County, TN? My gr gr grandfather Patrick Fay, died in 1865, at the age of 51. I can find no record of him other than information from his grave marker. It states that he was born in Co.Galway, Ireland Mar. 10, 1814, Emigrated in 1837, Married in 1845 and died Aug. 25, 1865 and interred in Old City Cemetery, Shelbyville, Bedford County, TN. Any information would be greatfully appreciated. B Fay, Prendergast

Pensions for Union soldiers were issued by the Federal government; these records can be found at the National Archives. Pensions for Confederate were issued by the states. The on-line index for South Carolina pensions: http://www.archivesindex.sc.gov/ Hope this helps. Alice J.

Federal pensions were only given to Union troops. There was a regiment formed the "2nd Infantry SC Vols" which was later designated as the "34th USCT". If he was in that regiment, you would apply to the NARA for his pension. If he was a Confederate soldier, you will need to get pension information from South Carolina archives.

At the National Archives today, I came across a Confederate prison hospital in South Carolina, but the handwriting is fancy and faded so I can't figure out the correct spelling. The hospital was in what looks like Rickensville (Rickersville?), South Carolina. If anyone can help or direct me to where I can find the correct spelling, I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Alice J.

Thanks Kassie: I just ordered it from Amazon. Claire

Billings, John D "Hardtack and Coffee" You can find a listing of resources for this book at Bookfinder.com Just enter author and /or title and it will give you quite a few. Kassie

Claire, There are two websites I use to find books on the War and for books that are hard to find or out of print. I have checked and did find many available copies "Hardtack and Coffee" on one of the sites. Books on the War Between the States http://www.civilwarmall.com/bookseller/main.htm Out of Print & Hard to Find Books http://www.abebooks.com/ There are plenty of copies of "Hardtack and Coffee" available from different book dealers at the following on Abebooks.com: http://dogbert.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?y=0&tn=Hardtack+and+Coffee&x=0 I have personally used C. Clayton Thompson's services before and I cannot praise him enough for the help he was to me. I've also ordered books from dealers on Abebooks.com and have had nothing but superior service from the dealers I did business with. I hope this bit of information will be of help. Edward
