In Response To: Re: Sharpshooters ()

Bridges' Sharpshooters is one outfit I haven't been able to get a good handle on, Danny. There are no known muster rolls; neither are there rolls for Stirman's Regiment of Sharpshooters.

From what little I've been able to find out about Stirman's Sharpshooters, it appears that the regiment was an unwieldy organization -- whether that was due to incompatibility of the component units, or the fact that Stirman's dismounted cavalry battalion never settled into an infantry roll (they continally petitioned to be remounted), or some other factor, I don't know. But the regiment was soon disbanded.
