Art,
I find the following in "Confederate Military History" Vol. XV, Texas, Extended Edition, page 232.
In command of his brigade he operated brilliantly against the Federals in Louisiana, on the Lafourche in July, 1863, on Fordoche in September, and in the Teche country in October, winning a brilliant victory at Bayou Boubeau November 3rd. General Taylor in his report gave General Green high praise,declaring that he he seized, in a masterly manner, the exact moment when a heavy blow could be given.Taylor had already frequently commended the gallant Texan, and protested that he was left unable to say anymore except that he exceeded expectations,which had been thought impossible.:This Officer," continued Taylor, "has within the past few months commanded in three successful engagements, on the Lafourche, on the Fouroche, and near Opelousas, two of which where won against heavy odds. His sphere of usefulness should be enlarged by his promotion to Major General. He is now commanding a division of cavalry, and I respectfully urge he be promoted."
He was promoted to Major General in early 1864.
