The 'Works of Sherman Lee Pompey"
During the 1960's and 1970's, a Gentleman named Sherman Lee Pompey did a lot of Military Research:
Quite a few of his works can be found in the FS Catalog: The focus of his research seems to surround the Civil War
along with the Cavalry and Infantry Troops who were involved.
There are a lot of Burial Records for those who fought and lost their lives from one cause or another.
Here are three pages of Books that contain Military Information: The file is a searchable & linked pdf.
Use the Above Link to locate and download items of interest.

Note:
There are no Indexes: But, the format Mr Pompey used is consistent in that he lists the Names from the 'Top Down'
In other words, Officers [Rank] to Non-Comissioned & Enlisted Men last.
