Someone was kind enough to send me information on where I could find records for William B. CROUT, and I deleted the e-mail after writing down the information. I went to the wrong place, traveling to the Civil War Library and Museum, which is a wonderful place to visit, but it does not have any records on Crout. The kind folks there suggested it may be the GAR museum that would be of help, but I'm lost when it comes to any type of war research, and I'd appreciate help in locating these records (again) please.
