David --

If you have an Ancestry subscription, browse the Alabama Civil War Muster Rolls for any regiment and company that belonged to Wilcox's Alabama Brigade. For example, there are 34 pages available for Co "A", 8th Alabama Regiment. The Fowler roll (May 1, 1861 - Dec 31, 1864) covers pages 17- 33. A typed transcription of this roll starts on page 6 (the final page of the transcription appears on page 3).

The last battle/skirmish on record is Burgess Mill, Oct 27, 1864. However, since these records cover two pages, you will need to match names on the left page with casualties on the right.

Field and staff records include summary totals for the regiment compiled from these rolls. The intention was to produce these rolls for every Alabama company, but sadly, relatively few are available, nearly all from the Army of Northern Virginia. Evidently Fowler visited the Army of Tennessee, but those records were lost or destroyed after the war's end.
