Mr. Curte's work is excellent.  I guess what I ment here was Kentucky 
provided much more manpower to the Union than to the Confederacy.  I

Company Partisan Rangers.

But not all, too many folks on both sides of the Mason Dixon think that 
Kentucky and WV were full confederate states.  Which I find mildly 
annoying.
