I recently acquired a small hardcover book entitled "Patriots of Salem" which was printed immediately after the Civil War. In it it lists all of the individuals from the Salem Mass area who fought in the war, their regiment, rank, and when they were mustered out, killed, wounded, etc. No narrative, just names, ranks, and details of over 3,000 men. Has anyone heard of this book? I'm from the deep south, and it intrigues me. In fact, more than a few of the guys listed in the book died in Andersonville and Thomasville Prisons, being approximately 80 and 25 miles from my home, respectively.
 

R,

do you have an original copy or a modern reprint?

Original was printed by T. J. Hutchinson & Son in
1877. Think it is very rare and should be worth a
bunch.

have a good un..................
 

Mines the original 1877 T.J. Huthinson version. Small blue book. Thanks for the reply. Didn't realize it was a rare book. David
