In Response To: same battles ()

Below are thumbnail sketches of your two regiments. I could not find both regiments in the Order of Battle for Spotsylvania CH but did for the James River Campaign, see below.

You might want to look around the Civil War Battles page to see if you can locate them both in some of the campaigns listed.
