It appears that thirty-six of this company died of wounds, disease, or
were killed in battle. The roll of this company is compiled from the
original, made by Captain Rufus A. Hale, and on which appears the names of
the thirty-eight men marked as deserters, and whose names do not herein
appear, as several of those so marked did not go over to the enemy, but
united with other Confederate commands and served faithfully to the end of
the war, and hence it would be wrong to brand and hand down to posterity
their names as deserters.
