I am reading an older magzine article by Ron Butler. In "The Buffalo Soldier" Butler states that 38,000 Union black soldiers lost their lives on the battlefield. The article is almost 50 years old and I was wondering if the 38,000 is still a good number. Does research done in the past 50 years change the number?
