<<I have it and make occasional reference to it; it is sort of the
grandfather
of all "number" books dealing with ACW.  Obviously, much of the research
behind it has been superceded by later works, but it does provide a quick
first
look for how many troops fought (and died) at many, many ACW battles,
including
quite obscure ones.>>


Bruce,

	Thanks for the info.  Do you know what some of the later works are and how
they compare with Livermore?  Is there a "best buy" in a book on strengths
and losses during the CW?  I see Morningside has Fox's Regimental Losses
During the CW, but does that include strengths as well?
