Colorado Volunteers in the Civil War Author / Compiler, Jeff C. Campbell has developed two new booklets as background information to the Sand Creek Massacre studies entitled; “1st Regiment Cavalry, Colorado Volunteers” and “3rd Regiment Cavalry, Colorado Volunteers.” He has compiled rolls of both regiments for use by researchers, genealogists and students of Colorado History. He said, “This is one aspect of a continuing process I began in 2002 while investigating events on Sand Creek of November 29 through December 1, 1864. The focus is to identify the approximately 675 members of the two regiments involved or rule out who was not there. The “Sand Creek Massacre Background Booklets,” #1 and #2 each contain an introduction, alphabetical rolls of the regiment and alphabetical rolls of the regiment sorted by company and bibliographies. The booklets are printed by Kiowa County Press, as Plains Printing, Inc., 1208 Maine St., P.O.Box. 248, Eads, Colorado 81036, 719-438-5800, Chris Sorensen, Publisher, chris@KiowaCountyPress.com. Copies are available through Kiowa County Press or through Campbell at P.O.Box 262, Eads. He notes on the cover and the title page that, “25% of the net proceeds from the sale of this booklet will be donated to the National Park Foundation, Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site Fund and 25% net proceeds will be donated to the Kiowa County Historic Preservation Fund through the Kiowa County Economic Development Foundation.” On July 13, 2006 at 7:00 p.m., author, Jeff C. Campbell will present his two latest endeavors, “1st Regiment Cavalry, Colorado Volunteers” and “3rd Regiment Cavalry, Colorado Volunteers” at the Artists of the Plains Gallery and Gift Shop in Eads, Colorado on U.
