I read this article just a few days ago. That article emphatically stated that the fallen soldiers were from North Carolina regiments. I can't say whether the author is correct or not, but it does stand in contrast to the other links provided in this thread that indicate the troops were from Alabama. I'd be interested in seeing what this thread concludes in that regard.Found the article I was thinking about.

These pictures are fascinating in so many ways (who was this soldier, what regiment did he belong to, what does the photo reveal about his equipment, etc, etc) , but the lingering takeaway from all of them is the tragedy of war.
