This list is a revision, expansion, and (I hope) an improvement upon the previous lists that I have compiled. My intention is to list every Canadian who served in the Civil War for whom there is some sort of documentation. Unfortunately, much of the relevant materials is not readily available, and therefore this list will never be an accurate reflection of the number of Canadians who served in the war. Nevertheless, I hope that the list will bring more attention to the role that these men played and, hopefully, assist some genealogically-minded people in tracking down a long lost ancestor. Please keep in mind that the list is currently a "work in progress". I have pieced much of it together from other lists that I have previously compiled, using different formats. I hope to have this lack of uniformity rectified as soon as possible.
