Re: Conscription Training
The diary of Sarah Lois Wadley ( docsouth.unc.edu/imls/wadley/wadley.html ) does discuss a skirmish at Trenton in April of 64 involving Union troops landing from gunboats. I get the impression that the Confederate troops were coming and going at this time and may not have been permanently located in Trenton. The diary of Kate Stone (Brokenburn) also discusses fighting at Monroe but I believe she had moved to Texas by 1864.
