To complicate the Hardeman saga a little, I have a letter from a g-Uncle in the 4th Texas Mounted Volunteers dated April 9, 1865 from "Camp Hardiman near Independence Texas". He states "The old brigade is no more, the 4th regiment of Texas Cavalry, Duffs regiment, Browns regiment and Crumps make up Hardimans Brigade. We are styled 4th Texas Mounted Volunteer Infantry,the boys are very much displeased about the old brigade being broken up." (He was 3rd Lt.in Co K.)
