Leetes and Leets Who Fought in the Cattanooga Campaign

I have written a book, "The Friendship Tablet", which will be or is available, depending on when you read this, as an ebook on Amazon.  In the appendix of that book I discuss Leetes and Leets that fought in the Chattanooga Campaign in the context of the biography of Arthur Irwin Leet (search blog for more info on him).  Here is the current list of those who can be traced to that campaign:
