Unionblue,
First of all I am no fishermen Sir,
I am a yachtsman.
I have AT YOUR REQUEST stated the source already and supply
the link below if it escaped you.
Page one, line 16, as follows:
" 9:1 Ratio of African American Civil War troops who died of disease to those that died on the battlefield, largely due to discriminatory medical care"
The problem may lie within your inability to accept said source
and thus you due me unjust as it's messenger Sir.
I cannot understand a rancorous attitude or it's
commingling of what appears to be an invitation.
Once more I REITERATE the link:
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/general-article/death-numbers/
The source is besides the statement originally recalled in Ken Burns documentary
THE CIVIL WAR.
which you may choose or not choose to believe.
What is important here is, the statement does not originate with me.
If you have a problem -take it up with Ken Burns.
Perhaps if I may suggest you might read the sources w/ credits at the end.
I no longer possess the doc so I cannot satisfy that.
Now that I have gone to these lengths to quench your
request, I will add I do not beat my chest
so much as you beat a dead horse Sir.
Sincerely
Cadet Will LeRoy
