Hello, Brett,
We seem to have missed communication.
I have a copy of the book Touched by Fire: Letters From Company D, 5th Texas Infantry, Hood’s Brigade, Army of Northern Virginia, 1862-1865 and can provide images.
Feel free to email me.
You can also try jaygo214@aol.com in case we misconnect on the other.
Glad to help in any way.
Jim
Jim,
Thanks for emailing me. Your book image should be showing up above. I appreciate the help!

Is there any mention or image of Dr. William Pentacost Powell in the book?
Devin,
good question, but I don’t know. I don’t actually own a copy.
Brett
I have a copy. Unfortunately, it has been some little while since I read it and do not recall who all was mentioned. I’ll have to skim the book and see if I can find any mention for you. It will be a little while before I ca get to it but, I’ll try not to be too long.
One thing you might consider- You can probably get a copy through an inter-library loan. Just check with your local library. If a book can be checked out from any library in the country, you can get it. A great service and still free!
Jim,
You have a good point on ILL. I’ve got a massive list of regimental histories in an excel spreadsheet. I mark the ones which are unavailable or prohibitively expensive as I’LL possibilities. I just haven’t acted on it yet, but I need to.
