Jim Lewis:

Thanks for your response and Yes, I am glad to communicate with you on the Western Campaign and particularly with the battles of the Forrest Cavalry Corps. As you mentioned you would give this your review and if you check out the history of the 12th Tennessee Infantry regiment, Company E transferred to Company L 3rd Mounted Infantry regiment of Kentucky and you will find an outstanding attendance from Belmont to the Wilson Raid, 1865, by my family in the U.S.Civil War. I am honestly getting older and my memory fails me right now but I gave my original reports to my grandson for the future. I can find and forward to you the complete record if you would like me to. I believe if you find the record of the 20th tennessee Cavalry, their travels correspond in same to the 3rd Mounted after they were assigned and transferred to the Forrest Cavalry Corps March 10, 1864. I read some of the E Mails and I commend you all for your knowledge. Looking forward to communicate with you all. I am very proud of the records of all Bushart ( Confederate and Union rosters)

Thanks.( reports are at the Hickman Kentucky Library )
