Transcriber’s Notes:

Unprinted periods were added, where appropriate. Double quote marks replaced single quote marks, where appropriate. Occasionally, letters were inverted in the printed copy. Use of commas in the tables at the end of the book was made consistent.

Dialect, obsolete, and other non-standard spellings were retained. Occasionally, names are not in alphabetical order in the tables at the end of the book. ‘Dawfuskie’ is sometimes printed without the final ‘e.’ In the table of Recruits for the Sixth Regiment, Unassigned, the entry for Glynn shows a discharge date before the muster date. In the list of principal engagements, the last entry for Fort Fisher should be 1865, not 1864, as printed. The word ‘on’ was possibly omitted from the phrase, ‘... [dead negroes top of it.]’ It was not clear whether ‘forees’ should be ‘forces’ or ‘forays’ in the phrase, ‘... our [forees] neared those of the enemy.’

In the Remarks column of the tables, the original text was on one line for each entry and ditto marks were used for part or all of the text for numerous succeeding entries. To make the tables fit a standard electronic screen, the text for each entry in the Remarks column was formatted so that lines would automatically wrap, depending on the width of the user's device. For clarity, the ditto marks were eliminated and the duplicate text was inserted.
