In the Spring of 1864, the brigades of the Army of Northern Virginia formed sharpshooters battalions to act both as skirmishers and shock troops in special actions. The information available to me shows that Captain James M. Dale commanded the battalion formed for Archer's/McComb's Brigade. His company commanders appear to have been Capt. Fergus S. Harris, Capt. Frank S. Beaumont, and Capt. Arch Norris. Any information about this sharpshooters battalion and its officers would be appreciated.
