I do not have a roster of the soldiers. You can research this with an on-line genealogy website and find their National Archive records.
In general, a regiment in the Civil War could have as many as 1000 men. After a few battles, their size was reduced to about 500 or even less. But also, if you want names of every soldier who served with this regiment over the 4 or 5 years, the TOTAL number could be 3 or 4 times that much. This is because soldiers were recruited to replace those who were killed or were sick. So the list of names would be very long.
