Danny,

I have been gathering detailed info on this unit for several years.Unfortunately,its all in storage now and I havnt worked it for awhile.

It seems like the Battalion was exchanged around summer of 62 and as u probably know was until about Sept. served with the 1st Mississippi Infantry at Port Hudson until remounted.

It is interesting that about 10 of the soldiers went back to Maury Co. to obtain remounts. Now how do these fellows gather up 300 horses in an area of Tennessee occupied by the federals? And drive them all the way to Port Hudson with no problems?

After Donelson the Battalion was sent to Terre Haute and kept at the Williams Pig Barn and then sent on to Camp Morton.

As soon as I can I will dig back into my records and give you more specific info.
