Thank you, Rick. That is very helpful information for an author. I'm currently working on a book about a soldier (Samuel D. Clippinger) in Co G, 81st OVI and another soldier (James M. Beasley) in Co. G, 19th AL. Correct historical details are important! (My recent book is "The Underground Railroad in DeKalb County, Illinois -- on Amazon) I appreciate your taking time to respond.
