I found the following from the James River Publications Regimental lists and from the US Army Military History Institute.

George Martin

5th Tennessee, See info. on "Campaigns and Battles of the 16th Tennessee Regiment, Tennessee Volunteers," by Thomas A. Head.

16th Regiment Tennessee Volunteers, "Campaigns and Battles of the 16th Regiment Tennessee Volunteers, In the War Between the States, With Incidental Sketches of the Part Performed by other Tennessee Troops in the same War, 1861-1865," by Thomas A. Head, a member of the unit. Published in 1885 by the Cumberland Presbyterian Publishing House, Nashville, Tennessee. In addition to a detailed history of the unit, including complete rosters detailing dead, wounded, promoted, the book also contains histories of other Tennessee units, such as the 8th (with rolls), 5th , Carnes' Battery, the 17th , 15th , 49th , 7th , 11th , 7th Kentucky, Wright's Brigade, and the 33rd Tennessee. Includes biographical sketches of various officers, reports on Forrest's actions at Paducah and Fort Pillow (including the names of captured US soldiers) and letters between General Nathan Bedford Forrest and Union officers relating to Fort Pillow. There are also accounts of POW experiences by Confederates in northern prisons. The particular book is offered for sale by a private collector (Frank Gonzalez); it is in excellent condition (some cover wear). If interested, give us an E-mail.
