JAMES DESCHLER OF ALABAMA
I am seeking biographical information and the personal papers of James Deshler of Tuscumbia, Ala., who was a member of West Point Class of 1854 and a U.S. Army officer until he entered the Confederate service in 1861. Deshler died at Chickamauga in 1863 as a CSA brigadier. I am especially interested in his service with the Utah Expedition of 1857-58.
