Confederate Soldiers Home Book

Does anyone present have access to Judith Strange's 1996 book on the Tennessee Confederate Soldiers' Home, who might check for bio info on an old soldier who is said to have applied for entry in 1895, and who died in 1902, with burial in the Confederate cemetery? Mississippi-born Jefferson Bankhead (1835-1902) who enlisted in Co. F, 17th Miss Inf in 1861 and later served in the Signal Corps, CSA is the subject of interest. Looking for leads to parentage/background and to post-war life -- info that might be in his application.
