Several months ago while searching for first-person accounts of Pleasonton's fight at Byram's Ford/Big Blue, I ran across a memoir or diary giving details on the part played by one of the regiments of Sanborn's Brigade. I think the account was written by a member of the 6th MSM Cav. but because the regiment in the account was being reorganized as a regular Missouri unit, the regiment in this account may have referred to as the 12th or 14th Missouri Cavalry (Federal)

The account described a combat with a regiment of Confederate cavalry, with the two units gradually approaching each other while firing until they were within one hundred yards of each other.

Has anyone else seen this article?
