We return thanks to our friend Billie Mason for the following list of the
killed and wounded of the 34
th Mississippi regiment; Confederate
Infanty, in that fearful conflict at Perryville, Ky., in the 8
th
of October, 1862. The list was made out by Maj. A. T. Mason a few days
after the battle; and has been in his possession ever since.
The 34th was originally known as the 37th, but

have asked us to make the correction, which we do with above explanation.
