Re: 19th Ga. Deaths at Olustee, Fla.

George:

Sorry, I missed this message back in March. From my understanding the soldiers who were wounded at Olustee were taken to a hospital in Madison County, Florida, some 60 miles to the west. The hospital was set up in the Smith Mansion there, which still exists and is a convention center for the local college. I'm not sure if any dead were transported there. However, In the City Cemetery in Madison is a plot of approximately 28 soldiers. Unfortunately, the graves are not marked with names. There's simply a monument honoring the soldiers who died in relation to the battle of Olustee. I can get pictures if you wish, but I'm not sure how to find out if there is a roll of interred.
