Yates County's Boys in Blue

Yates County's "Boys in Blue" 1861-1865: Who they were and what they did, compiled by Robert H Graham about 1926, is by far the most extensive compilation of the service records during the Civil War of Yates County residents. It is unfortunately long out of print, and original copies are quite rare. It has been however posted by Cornell University in a series of works scanned and reduced to digital image format. The Cornell project is called The Making of America, is located at http://moa.cit.cornell.edu/MOA/MOA-JOURNALS2.html and contains an image of each of the book's 200-plus pages, as well as of many other works on American history.
Up to now there has never been a formal every-name index created for Boys in Blue. The book is organized by the year of enlistment of the various regiments, and the pages at the end detail other interesting information on the draft, prisoners of war, substitutes and so on. More than 2000 names are included, with information on residence, age at enlistment, extent and details of service and discharge. It was an honest and effective effort at listing every single Yates County man who served during the Civil War.
Following is a complete table of contents. At the bottom of the page is a table with links to the various parts of the name index, which has been broken into alphabetical sections.
