Rod,

Have you tried asking the Alabama Dept. of Archives and History to duplicate the contents of the file for the 1st Alabama? Item #5 is an original manuscript that might have something. I think they charge $20.00 to duplicate the file.

FIRST ALABAMA INFANTRY REGIMENT

1. Sketches, including those by Brewer and Evans
2. Newspaper clippings
3. Narative of the Seige of Port Hudson by Isaiah G. W. Steedman, Colonel

5. Original manuscript "History of the First Alabama Volunteer Infantry, C.S.A." by Edward Young McMorries, private in Co. C, later Co. G (Perote Guards)
