Indiana Soldies Book Of The Dead.

Here is a list of Indiana soldiers that were either killed, died or were wounded. I had no reason as to way I picked these men other then I found their information interesting. For those of you who didn’t find a ancestor here and know your ancestor was killed or died in battle but don’t know where or how, can ask for a look up. You can find my address in my profile.
