Hello. I have an ancestor, William Perry Gore, who may have been in the 1st regiment Choctaw Mounted Rifle, Company D. ..There was a "William Gore" in this unit but I am having trouble proving it is the right one. ..My William Gore was from Louisiana, and I know the Choctaw Mounted Rifles had a recruiting camp in Tangipahoa, Louisiana.
