Daniel T. Elliott, President of Lamar Institute, Inc is doing research on the Kilpatrick Raid (Union) of August 16-21, 1864, against Confederate forces of Armstrong, Ferguson and Ross Brigades. During the raid at Nash Farm Ross' Brigade was over run, but not destroyed. Dan is trying to determine command structures, strength, and killed and where, wounded mortal and non, and captured. He found my Whitfield / Ross Texas Cavalry Brigade site and has been able to reconstruct some of this data. As I have not reached the level of detail that he is seeking and can provide only command and some personnal data, any help would be appreciated. You can send it to me or him direct.
