Allen: Thanks for posting my LINSCOMB's CSA data. Do you know of any websites that follow the Orange County CSA units? There are a set of books in some public libraries that list questionnaires filled out by Civil War veterans with 48 vital questions about their background and military experience. Sorry, I can't remember the name of the books.
