Great article @NH Civil War Gal !

Thanks for sharing it in the Medical Care Forum!

Those records Ms. Gibbons-Backus references remind me of the Samuel H. Stout papers that @Stiles/Akin is working from. He obtained, from a friend, images of a lot of records from the Stout Papers which are housed at the Briscoe Center for American History (The University of Texas at Austin) and is going through them, one by one, to locate men who were treated at the Hospitals in Cassville and Kingston, GA. He hopes to identify the Union and Confederate dead who were buried in the cemeteries there. There may have been burial records at one time, but when those towns changed hands, the hospitals (and the sick and wounded) changed hands at the same time. Many of the Union dead (but not all) were identified and removed to the Marietta National Cemetery. The Confederate soldiers were not removed and any records that may have existed were lost, so there is now no record of who is buried there.
