Port Hudson question for Art & others...

Art,
Finally got to read your book on Mile's Legion, and in it you state that Col Miles was in command of the Confederate right wing (land side). Was This just the Legion? Or was he in command of other troops too? (I am at work and my book is at home in the states)
Not sure if you are familiar with the grounds around Port Hudson, but in the W.J. Davidson diary, (41st Tenn, I think) he states they are on the extreme right, close to the river. Would this be approx. where the turn of the century cemetery is just below the National Cem on GP land?
Anyone know of a map that shows troop placement? I am able to go on probably 75% of the land that has earthworks, and am just curious.

Thanks,
Virgil
