Lawrence,
My wife had a number of ancestors, one gg-grandfather and about five uncles in the 5th Alabama Battalion, Co. A, "North Sumter Rifles". As a tribute to them, I setup a site dedicated to the 5th Alabama Battalion at http://history-sites.com/civilwar/units/5albn/index.htm . As a part of this project, I digitized William Frierson Fulton's book "FAMILY RECORD AND WAR REMINISCENCES" and have it online at http://history-sites.com/civilwar/units/5albn/toc.htm .
This is the book, in full, minus a couple of illustrations, if you or others are interested.
Lawrence, I've copied your posting to the Alabama in the CW Message Board at http://history-sites.com/mb/cw/alcwmb/ .
