Don Cates,

Unfortunatly, a rare, albeit incomplete, explanation about "Hardeman's 1st Cav, 1st Arizona Brigade" is my web page, which is sort of a summary of my work. My book is 90 % from handwritten records that addresses the last 1-1/2 years of the War.
.
I recommend that you study the leads gleaned from your "James Levi Thomas Hall" archival CSA record.

My book addresses "Hardeman's Co C" because my great friend "Jerry Coffee of Plano TX" shared his and his sister's extensive research on their "Joshua Coffee's" service in Hardeman's "Company C". ...See "Jerry Coffee postings" in the "Archives" of this web site to read some of his "J.D. Coffee" research.
