Lynn, Dr. Stout was in charge of Confederate hospitals at this particular time and place. Dr. Stout was a great visionary insofar keeping great records for inquiring families and for the sake of history. When he died well after the war all of his records were sold by his family members to various institutions and individuals who had the money.

The bulk of his records are now at the UT in Austin, Texas at the Dolph-Briscoe American History Center. The other two places who have a great deal of his records are Emory University near Atlanta, Georgia and Duke University in North Carolina.

I personally have all of his records on (10) disk from these three educational institutions but they are not in any particular kind of order and it truly is like hunting for a needle in a haystack just thousands of pages.

Work is being done in putting them into some type of indexing but it might be a few more years before the project is finished.

There were a lot of Confederate hospitals between Chickamauga and Atlanta, Georgia including the hospital at Covington, Georgia which if my memory is correct was near Emory at Oxford where a number of unknown Confederates are buried.
