They are always short of Union Troops here in the South. The 1st Arkansas Battlion, was galvanized, there was the 3rd, 15th, 16th, 22nd Ark attending, + the 4th Mo. who furnished 5 guys. About 40 Normaly Confederate + about 60 Yankees faced over 300 Rebs,,,Them Texicans don't like to galvanize.

The way it was explained to me is the Home Company/Battalion Galvanizes if there aren't enough Union, but not here. The Visiting Team goes blue.

Notice I referred to myself as Unionist, not Yankee,,,There is a difference. There aint no such thang as a Southern Yankee.
