    The book, A Pioneer History of Becker County Minnesota, by Alvin H. Wilcox, 1907,                           
contains a list of soldiers of the Civil War, who are living [1907], or who have lived in Becker County.                                
See:   http://www.rootsweb.com/~mnbecker/ch58.htm                               
From the Preface to the book:                               
     I at first started out with the intention of writing up a sketch of all the early settlers,                                
and particularly to publish the army experience of every old soldier in Becker County,                              
presuming and guessing that there would be as many as fifty, but when I came to count them up                               
and found that more than three hundred soldiers of the Civil War were now living or had lived                               
in Becker County, my head began to swim around and around, and I gave it up.
