Re: Samuel W. Spencer - Wheats Battalion
" Could his brigade be the one pictured in Gardner's photo of confederate dead along the Hagerstown Pike? Another ancestor, James M. Bennett, was in the 9th La. Thanks again. Michael J. Cone, M.D "
Those pictured along the fence line on Hagerstown Pike were part of the 2nd Louisiana Brigade, of which the 15th was a part. The 9th was also part of the 2nd Louisiana Brigade.
