Author's commentary" "In the following list we aim to give the name of every man who went from the county to engage in the war, with the locality from which he went, the regiment in which he served, and his fate. We have taken great pains to make the list as nearly complete and accurate as possible, seeking information in every promising channel, and studiously endeavoring to avoid all possible mistakes. While the list may not be without error, we believe it to be a verty near approach to completeness and accuracy."
