Re: 28th cavalry where do i start

Thanks for your reply and the information I will find it useful.

I have been researching the activities at Camp White Sulphur Springs near Pine Bluff, AR (mentioned in the Perry Letters of your books) for better than 12 years, along with Camp Mills, Camp Wright, Camp Freezeout, Camp Skeedattle, and Fort Douglas in Jefferson County, AR. which Walkers Texan's were at and the mission of those same Texas troops while they were stationed there from December 26th, 1862 until April 25th, 1863.

One of the main reason that I was interested in the names of Texas soldiers that died during that time period is that Part of my research leads me to believe that some of them buried at Camp Wright may be located under the new football stadium of the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff. They did attempt to move an old cemetery when they built it.

I don't know that anything could be done about that now. But maybe a nice marker could be erected. So I was trying to find the name of the soldiers of Walker's Texas Division that died while at Camp Wright which was nearby and not near Wright, Arkansas as most historians have assumed, but about 15 miles south, just north of Pine Bluff.
