While researching the four regiments of Ross' Brigade, I descovered many races and many Nations. The most of any one race was the Indians, and the second was Mexican. Specificaally I did not know that Jeff Mabry was a negro, but will add it as we do have researchers seeking this data. Nations included France, Spain, Scotland, Germany, Ireland and Great Briton. There were several who said they fought with the famous 600 who rode into the Valley of Death in Europe.

Hill College is one of Texas most valuable resources, but many of the other Universities have also developed departments that have valuable Civil War Data. As I get my boys into college, I plan to go to many, such as North Texas, Texas A&M, Texas University, Baylor University and Hill College. Many public Libraries also have good collections.

My problem is time and access. Some collections require special permision. I will be hapy when it is all on line.
