Always looking for info (textual, manuscript, photographic, oral tradition, archival, etc.) on "the Camel Regiment," aka the 43rd Mississippi Infantry Volunteers, CSA, which served at Gainesville (AL) on garrison duty, in the Iuka-Corinth (MS) Campaign, in the Central Mississippi Railroad Campaign, in the Vicksburg Campaign & Siege (including the Deer Creek Expedition), at the 2nd Battle of Jackson (MS) [Pound's detachment], at the Battle of Chickamauga (GA) [Pound's detachment], in opposition to Sherman's Meridian (MS) Campaign (wherein they were mounted under Forrest to oppose Sooy Smith's raid), in the 100-day Atlanta (GA) Campaign, in Hood's Middle Tennessee Campaign, and, finally, in the Campaign of the Carolinas. If you have ANY info whatsoever about this unit or its various brigade mates (especially manuscript info about the various brigade mates) or mentions of this unit in the accounts of the Federal units which opposed it, PLEASE contact me! We're seventeen years into researching this virtually undocumented regiment and still have "holes" in the regiment's story. Thanks! -- Jim Huffman, Co-Historian, 43rd MS Infantry Vols, CSA
