Morgan's Confederate Calvary

I am researching the Georgia Partsian Rangers which later became the 13th/16th Ga Calvary Battalion. It is my understanding that this unit was part of Colonel John Morgan's Calvary, Gano's, or Breckingridge's Commands.

It has been stated in at least one source that there was a company paper "The Vidette" published by Morgan's Command while they were on various duties within the State of Kentucky. Does anyone know if some copies of this publication may have surrived the war, and if so, where would one be able to find their location?

I have "The History of Morgan's Cavalry", by Basil W. Duke, which mentiones the "Georgians" several times, but only once as the 16th Georgia Cavalry Battalion.

Does anyone have a source which would indicate the various units which served under Colonel John Morgan? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
