Thanks Bruce, I appreciate your clarification. The following from your post on 25 March 2011 was what I'd picked up on. "Yes, this is definitely another one of those "hit team" assassinations from that mysterious bunch of Union soldiers from the Springfield garrison. Only now we have the identity of two of them, the Harshbargers of the 6th Provisional EMM Regiment (at the time of the murders in July and August 1863). Perhaps the rest of their murderous team are from that regiment, too." I'm not interested in any particular murder, but the actions of the Harshbargers and being able to identify them as part of the hit team or tie them to particular murders. Which of your books (or both?) deal with the Union assassins?
