In Response To: ATTN: Joe Allport ()

George,

The author of that posts has some of his facts wrong.

"He was part of a small number of Texas volunteer infantry regiments sent to Virginia. Henry would soon get his fill of fighting Yankees. His regiment became part of Longstreet’s Division and would see action at the battle of Gettysburg and later with Longstreet and Hood at Chickamauga in September of 1863."

The ONLY Texas units in the ANV were the 1st, 4th and 5th Inf. regiments. The 11th TX Infantry was part of Randall's Brigade, Walkers Division and they certainly served with distinction in the Trans-MS. There was a Henry Travis that served in the 4th Texas Inf.

I posted the last paragraph on that board just now.
