In recognition of the time lapse between the 1907 letter and the Civil War
services of 
the Academy students, and assuming that Pickard and Evans compiled their
lists 
independently, the names of the Academy students contained in the "letter"
list of Pickard 
and the names of the Academy students in the "probate" list of
Evans must be considered 
as remarkably similar. Because Evans must have visited many of the camps
of Union 
soldiers in the sale of commodities, his information may have been the result
of actual 
conversations with some of the former Academy students. Such contacts may
have been 
conducive to spread of "rumors" of former Academy students who
were now the enemy, 
but, also, such contacts may have provided more reliable information than
data that Pickard 
was able to compile. 
The following roster of Academy students, who served in the Civil War, represents
a 
compilation of the "letter" roster of Pickard and the "probate"
roster of Evans. Question 
marks (?) have been noted to account for discrepancies concerning the Civil
War services of 
the Vance twins, Andrew and Charles, on the side of the Confederacy, and
whether or not 
Nicholas Dale survived from his services on the side of the Union.
