Robinson's Co., Howitzer Btry., 1st La. Cav.

For a number of years I have been researching and working on a book on the battle of Stone's River/Murfreesboro. That research places Captain N. T. N. Robinson's Howitzer Battery, as a part of the 1st Louisiana Cavalry, in the battle. The 1st Louisina Cavalry was assigned to Pegram's brigade at the time of the battle. Unfortunately, no reports were filed from Pegram's brigade; consequently only passing references are found regarding its role in the battle.

I am seeking ANY information on the role of Captain Robinson's battery in the battle. The same applies to the 1st Louisiana Cavalry beyond Carter's "A Cavalryman's Reminiscenes of the Civil War," and that found in the Supplement to the Official Records.

Best Regards and GOD's BLessings,

Lanny Smith
