Does anyone know how to locate a listing of soldiers who were suspected of dying in this explosion?
Loretta

You may wish to look at the book "Cahaba Prison and the Sultana Disaster" by William O Bryant. The actual numbers on those who perished are unknown.

Dear L.C.,
Thank you for your reply.
I have found many websites that offer the numbers of people who perished and the number who survived.
What I need is a listing of those people so I can see whether my John Curry was among them.
Sincerely,
Loretta

The Book "The Sultana Tragedy" By Jerry O. Potter (Pelican Publishing 1992) has a fairly good (albeit incomplete) list of the crew, civilian passengers and military passengers starting on page 197 and ending on 260. No "John Curry" is listed, but a "M. Currey" (Private, Company I of the Kentucky 4th Cavalry) is listed as a survivor. My G3 Grandfather and two more removed relatives were survivors of the Cahaba Alabama camp and the Sultana incident.
Hope this helps you,
Jerry Anderson

Dear Jerry,
Thank you for looking into this and replying.
I will add the info to my research file.
Best regards,
Loretta
