Arthur E. Green has skillfully interwoven published and unpublished sources to make a story of these volunteers come alive.  Using official correspondence and reports, newspaper accounts, and the personal letters of these soldiers, Green has both written their history, and compiled a fully detailed roster of the almost 1,500 officers and men who fought with the 38th.  He has used these biographies of each participant to tell both their story and that of the 38th Alabama Volunteers.
