Col. John Scott's Brigade, Wirt Adams' Cav. 1865

Researching the service of these regiments serving under Brig. Gen. Wirt Adams in Alabama during March-April 1865. Included are 1st and 3rd (Wingfield's) Louisiana Cav. Regs, 18th Louisiana Cav. Battalion, Ogden's Louisiana Cav. Reg. Particularly interested in diaries, letters, and other memoirs which may detail actions of the brigade and these regiments particularly, of April 6, 1865. Col. Fredrick Ogden was in command of this brigade on this date, Col. Scott being under arrest in Meridian. Prisoner-of-war accounts, particularly, would be of interest. E-mail with replies. Anrkee@aol.com
