Keith,

I don't think so. The LA troops mainly arrive with the Army of the Mississippi when it is formed at Corinth, MS. after the fall of the river forts, Nashville, etc.

Ruggles' Division has the LA Brigades of Gibson and Pond which contain the bulk of the LA regiments with this command. Two otehrs were with other commands but one came from Pensacola with Bragg.

If there was any LA troops in Russellville they would have had to have been with the forces at Fts. Donelson/Henry (there weren't any that I know of), or the Central Army of KY in Bowling Green- and again there weren't any that I know of.
