Did anybody have a Union or Confederate who was specifically mentioned in a regimental history (not counting appearing on a roster list). So far I have only found one relative with this distinction. My 4 x Great Uncle Garrett D. Pence is mentioned in History of 77th Volunteer Illinois Infantry by W. H. Bentley (p. 341-342):
What I found interesting about this incident was that this appeared to be Garrett's only combat experience. He enlisted in 1862, however, his service record mentions him being either sick or on detached service until his regiment's last major campaign at Mobile, Alabama in the Spring of 1865.
