Re: 30 Day March from LA to MS - need help

I don't claim to be an expert on anything but,30 days travel especially for Calvary Regt.?The Pascagoula River is not far from Baton Rouge.What exactly were they doing?There is a river in Alabama called the Patsaliga.Ballpark milage 320 miles from Baton Rouge.Six day ride?It's south of Montgomery eventually emptying into Pensacola Bay via Escambia River. Blockade runners?Is there any mention of a Railroad?I spent two years on a letter from my GGGrandfather.Some mysteries I still haven't solved.Some took place in northeastern MS..Rivers and towns in LA.,MS.,ALA.and FL.can be of French,Spanish or Indian or any combination there of.Unheard of languages to a New York yankee.Sometimes reports were written months latter.Leaving a less than exact recollection of the exact people ,places and things accomplished.Grammer has changed over the years.For example I found that the double ff in 1862 was a way of writting the double s as in Kossuth,MS..The spelling of Koffuth,MS. quite proper in 1800's.I have still never found a place called Laurs Gully,I believe TN.Why do you want to know?
