| In 1990, there was seemingly very little published information about the activities and members of the 37th Alabama Infantry. Since that time, through countless emails, letters and packages, the following individuals have provided a tremendous amount of information from family records, photographs, service records, diaries and other primary and secondary sources. In many cases, an individual has provided invaluable support simply by running across a source, proofreading and correcting earlier errors, or otherwise assisting the editor in this project. For this assistance of time and material, the editor is extremely grateful. This project would not have been possible without the research contributions, dedication, sources and resourcefulness of the late Rex Miller whose book DOWDELL’S VOLUNTEERS inspired the project, and also of Dr. Gerald Golden whose FRIENDS OF THE 37TH ALABAMA newsletters sparked the editor to try to learn more about the personal stories of the men of the 37th Alabama.
