Yes; another list was published for the Battle of Frazier's Farm, which I have in similar form. It's not finished, but since I put it down two years ago, it's not lkely that I'll return to it anytime soon. I may just toss it out here and let someone else take the ball and run. As Mr. Morales said the other day with regard to his work on the 41st Alabama, I'm not the owner of this information, so anyone ought to be able to ask for it. My wife doesn't appreciate my attitude about this, but I'm often willing to exchange work for a kind word or two.

I was asked about the Gettysburg story which appeared in a letter on file with the 9th Alabama's ADAH papers. The story concerned a boy from the 9th Alabama who participated in the capture of Turnbull's guns on the afternoon of July 2nd. As I recall, the lieutenant who wrote the letters was named Parker. Dr. Owen had found him in Texas and wrote to ask for information about the regiment. Parker had served as an officer in one of the two Limestone County companies, either "F" or "H". I'll try to locate that over the weekend and post the story.
