His records, which consist of 61 cards, may be procured through the service noted in the Red enclosed box above. I believe most of these records are vochers, receipts for stores, clothing, pay, etc. At least one is a letter of application while still a Captain of an unattached Cavalry Company, April 11, 1863 at Little Rock, Ark.

These types of documents provide interesting intelligence, such as, location, number of men attached, etc.

William B. Denson, age 24, Captain, Capt. W. B. Denson's Cavalry Company, Unattached Brigade*, joined for duty and enrolled March 25, 1862 at Richmond by J. P. Benjamin, Sec. of War, for 3 years, surrendered [Lt. Col.] with Gen. E. Kirby Smith's command and paroled June 22, 1865, resident of Shrevport. La.

* This company subsequently became Company A, 6th Regiment Louisiana Cavalry.

The regiment was first organized in the Trans Mississippi Department during the winter of 1863-64, as Harrison's Battalion Louisiana Cavalry. It was increased to a regiment by the addition of unattached companies and designated the 6th Regiment Louisiana Cavalry
