So "Priest's regiment" was an actual regiment, the 2nd Missouri? Was it cavalry or infantry? Because the 5th Missouri Infantry Battalion which Priest seems to be associated with appears to have been converted to cavalry at some point: "5th Infantry Battalion, Col. John Priest (Converted to cavalry)" http://www.mogenweb.org/mocivwar/confederates.html

Was Priest's regiment formed by combining the 5th Missouri Inf. Battalion with other battalions or companies? Or was it one of those things that existed only on paper and in reality it had no more members than it did as the 5th Mo. Inf. Bn.?
