In Response To: Deserters ()

Hello. While I know nothing about the Battle of Stone River, I do know from experience that sometimes those listed as deserters, never did that.
As in at least one of my relatives case, he had gone home to heal.
Record keeping was terrible at times, so if the person was not there for any reason, he was marked as deserted.
