Does anyone have a copy of this book? (Final Camping Ground) Does it have a name index of those Civil War vets buried in Green-Wood? My gg grandfather Peter E Trotter died of his wounds in 1862 and is buried in Green-Wood. I have corresponded with the cemetery several times. I wrote and gave them a brief history of his service in the 79th NY Infantry and his death from his wounds. They sent me back a letter that they were forwarding it to the historian who was compiling the information. I never heard from him even though I wrote more than once. I would love to know if Peter is included in the book or on the CD and would purchase a copy if I knew he was included. I would be thrilled to think that there was now a marker on his grave. His wife and a son are buried in another section of Green-Wood. I can ill afford to spend the $30 at all. If anyone has a copy and would look him up, I would be very grateful. I live in Florida and do not have any access to the book or CD. Mary in Florida
