I am particularly interested in the material relating to the Camden Expedition, and specifically Mount Elba and the Raid on Longview. Danny Odom shared an excerpt that he has from Wright's Memoirs in which Fagan denounced Dockery's Brigade for their stamped at Mount Elba. Fagan allegedly told Dockery's men that may of them had been good infantry soldiers, but mounting them must have made them cowards!

That kind of matches my own experience with modern cavalry where their motto was "Death before dismount", but I digress...

Wright took exception to Fagan's comments as he perceived that they included his own regiment, and this caused a riff between Wright and Fagan that would continue through 1864 campaign in Missouri.

If you could share the material you have my email is Damon.cluck@gmail.com
