First you need to know what regiment he was in. H. E. Howard Publishing did a number of Confederate regimental histories. A lot of these are out of print but in the back is a roster with some information on most of the soldiers that served in that unit. If your library does not have the book it is possible to borrow it on interlibrary loan. If you check www.worldcat.org. There may be a listing of libraries in the us that have it. Also if you know the regiment you may check online for info. Some regiments have sites and rosters as well. Good luck in your search.
