Jim, Jimmie and David..... The suggestion about separate rosters and history follows what Alice Fry did for the 5th Kansas Cavalry in softcover. Alice also limited her history to short pieces centered around three soldier's diaries and/or letters. She also published about 15 line drawings of photos of 5th Kansas soldiers. While it was most certainly not a complete history, it did get a general sense of the 5th Kansas Cavalry in print! The leading expert on the 5th Kansas Cavalry has more information, owns most of the original photos published and has published numerous local and even national articles on the 5th Kansas Cavalry...... but never a book, much to our loss.

I have the same problem. The 10th Kansas Infantry didn't even come into existence until April 1862 after Lane's Kansas Brigade was disbanded and infantry companies were consolidated, cavalry companies were distributed among existing regiments and artillery companies were consolidated into batteries. My solution was to collaboratively write the history of Lane's Kansas Brigade with Matt Mathews and Kip Lindberg which is fundamentally roughed out. Even so, this short timeperiod (June 1861 to April/May 1862) fills out 12 chapters and almost 2000 men in rosters.

Good luck.
