Linda --

Thanks for explaining your needs. Putting together a detailed (and accurate) list of battles and skirmishes is no easy task, even for an expert. For your purposes, consult the Tennessee unit histories for an outline of this regiment's history.

Officers and men were anxious to return home as soon as possible, but a majority appear to have remained in camp despite the conflicting rumors. At the time of the first paroles (May 10, 1865), Forrest had two full divisions under his command, plus his staff, escort, artillery batteries, scouts and assorted attached soldiers. I would guess that the number of his officers and men receiving paroles was over four thousand, perhaps as many as five thousand. Of course that doesn't include other members of General Taylor's army, and soldiers of other armies paroled at Gainesville, Columbus, Meridian and othe points.
