As a follow up to the event, the only survivor was Sgt. Thomas Goodman, 1st Mo Eng.
He is in the Santa Rosa Rural Cemetery, CA. Has nicely kept up grave plot and is properly marked. He is also an attraction on all our tours including my civil war tour.

I did give information on him to the Capt of the 1st Mo Eng. who I met at the 2001 Raymond, MS reenactment. Saw the sticker of that outfit on their car and went inside the visitors center at Vicksburg and introduced myself to them all. They knew about him , but did not know where he was. I am a docent and Civil War Specialist past 12 years at the cemetery besides my activities with the SUV and local CWRT.

Goodman sold that booklet for . 50 cents around these parts until he died. He had a small farm and blacksmith shop on the edge of town.
