Damon, that is my understanding. And I have been dependant upon those that have gone before me for their knowledge. When I matched up an old map copy of that time, with a top map and a current county map... And plotted in the road. The Centerville Road from Mt Elba came out at Rowel. I have walked the road from Mt Elba to Hwy 35, but not from there to Big Creek. A buddy and I have driven the road from Rowel to Big Creek a few times, but we have not found Wright's camps.

Someone below asked about the other cavalry units that were with him. I can't find my copy of Wright's memoirs, but I'm almost sure he used the phrase, after crossing Big Creek, the they "went into camps." Perhaps that is a reference to the other units. Don't know for sure.
