No, but with respect to Hood's march through N. Ala. in Oct. 1865, see the following comment:

"The three corps, Cheatham's, Stewart's, and Lee's, marched by separate routes, each of which was designated by specific marks on the trees, that "stragglers" might be able to follow their respective commands." H.K. Nelson, Forty-first Tennessee Infantry
