See "Civil War in the Mountains" by A. Christine "Chris" Tipton. The book is the only I know of that goes into deep detail of the Battle of the Red Banks. My great grandmother used to tell me about this battle. All 5 Kirk brothers(my grt grt grt grandfather, John L., George W., James, William & Francis Marion Kirk) fought at the Battle of Red Banks. William lost his leg due to it. I have been to see where the battle was fought & they even had a re-enactment near the site in 2000. I would be interested in what your family history tells of it.
