Gettysburg, Antietam, more: Resources for you on my blog

5th Connecticut monument on Culp's Hill at Gettysburg.

During the past year, several resources for Civil War buffs/researchers were added or enhanced on my blog. All are accessible down the right hand side of the page. Here's a recap:

Connecticut Gettysburg death list: The most comprehensive list of its kind,  this downloadable Excel spreadsheet includes the names as well as the rank, regiment, company, place of death, family information, links and more about Connecticut soldiers who were killed or mortally wounded at Gettysburg.

Connecticut Antietam death list: Same information as above for the four regiments of soldiers from the state who fought Sept. 17, 1862 -- the bloodiest day in American history.

Connecticut New Bern death list: With the aid of researcher Skip Riddle, an expert on the battle, this downloadable Excel spreadsheet lists soldiers from the 8th, 10th and 11th Connecticut regiments who died at the Battle of New Bern (N.C.) on March 14, 1862.
