I have been working on a master casualty list for the Confederate forces at the battle of Murfreesboro/Stone’s River. The main source for this research has been National Archives Microfilm Publication M836: C.S.A. Casualties - List and Narrative Reports 1861-1865, Roll 4, Tennessee and Texas.

The major problem that I have encountered has been with the 13/20 Louisiana - Consolidated and the 16th/25th Louisiana - Consolidated. While the reports are present, their condition is such that because of fading, listing only last names, etc. it all but impossible to produce a complete list.

I would be most appreciative for any and all assistance in my effort to produce casualty lists for these units. My efforts are not confined to simply listing a name, but to verify it for correct spelling, etc.

Any information, from a single name to casualty lists from newspapers, will be appreciated. Please feel free to email me with information . I do ask, however, that you cite the source of your information, Please feel free to email me, I will respond to all.

Upon completion of my project, it is my intention to have it posted on a website where it will be available to anyone interested.

Thank you and GOD’s Blessing
