I haven't read anything about it. Most of the foreign allies to either side refused to get involved, and locals were paid to fight for their side of choice, so weren't necessarily "mercenaries" (or else everyone was a mercenary).
That said - I would be interested in there was any indications of mercs fighting for either side and where they came from as well.
I am told by my now decieced grandmother that our family came from Eastern Europe for that very purpose. I am told that if you got drafted, you could hire somebody to take your place. Accordingly, the wealthy families from the Northeast would hire people from other parts of the world. My family eventually went to Nebraska and settled. I do not know how actively they particated in the war, if any. I am trying to find out if this is correct. That is what led me to this site.
