This book is a listing, by name, of the identified casualties suffered by the Confederate forces during the Invasion of Kentucky in mid to late 1862. These names were drawn from the records held by the U. S. National Archives. In addition there are listings of the Orders of Battle for the forces involved including the Army of Mississippi, the Confederate Army of Kentucky, and the forces of BG Abraham Buford, BG Humphrey Marshall, and BG John Hunt Morgan. The information includes names and ranks, as well as the unit and the location of each loss. Over 8500 men listed, although this is still not a complete list, since the Confederate records are not complete.
