Mike,

Andersons/Border's regiment was formed as a consolidation of Border's and Fulcrod's Battalion in April 1864, when they were ordered to Tyler. Anderson was named Colonel and relieved R.T.P. Allen. On July 20, there was a mass desertion from this regiment, with 100 men under Lt. G.H. Hardeman mounting up and heading for Mexico. A reserve corp regiment was rushed here, and Sweet and the 15th arrived by August 15th as Sweet relieved Anderson on that date.

I don't think that I have the Ryan account. how long is it?
