Greg,

The movements of the Battalion from the fall of Henry on Feb.6 to the action at Donelson have interested me for some time... Specificaly,this quote from Co.B,Capt.Robert Moore's journal entry,"Joe Houghman departed this life feby 7,1862,in a skirmish between my company and the federal cavalry.His death was caused by discharge of shotgun.Houghman stood his ground well because he could not get his horse to leave.He went under____ his body was left for the birds of the air to feed on,his bones to bleach.Houghman went under 6 miles southwest of Fort Donelson on a beautifull sunny day."

My information says the green Battalion fled Henry in disarray for the safety of Donelson.We know that Forrest arrived at Donelson on the 11th and soon took his regiment and the Battalion out to skirmish with Grant's advance.

The question is,what was the Battalion doing after it fled Henry on Feb.6th till Forrest arrived late on the evening of Feb.10? Tell me more about your info Greg? Where from,details etc.
