Bourland's Regiment was usually detailed to only transfer prisoners to the CSA jail in Bonham, Fannin County for other military units, but on Apr 9, 1865 Bourland's Regiment captured the prisoners.

.
A question that I hope future historians will address is: "Who captured the prisoners that Bourland's Regiment was detailed to transfer?"
.
I'd guess that Bourland's Regiment was detailed, between Mar 1, 1864 and Feb 1, 1865 (limit of Bourland's Regimental records), about four times to transfer prisoners to the Bonham jail, but I have never counted them -- harder than one two three. ..When I learn how many batches of prisoners were transferred, I'll post it.
.
.
I speculate that the rather large military units who captured these prisoners for Bourland's Regiment to transfer to the Bonham jail after March 1, 1864 were:
.

1) LeKoester's Co E, Baird's-Showalter's 4th TX Cav, 4th Arizona Brig http://www.bourlandcivilwar.com/LeKoester.htm
.
2) Wells' Battalion, Scanland's-Good's-Gillette's Co A and B http://www.bourlandcivilwar.com/WellsBattn.htm
.
3) McCord's 46th Frontier Cavalry
.
4) Pyron's 2d TX Cav, Co H (2d Arizona Brigade) http://www.bourlandcivilwar.com/Pyron2dTexasCavalry.htm
.
5) Martin's 5th TX Cavalry Partisan Rangers
.
6) Pyron's 2d TX Cav, Co I, (2d Arizona Brigade) remnants of Baylor's Ladies' Rangers.

Please help define the "Arizona Brigade" that is key in understanding the North and West Frontier during 1865 and 1865. I'd appreciate additions and corrections to web page:

I would appreciate help in studying those companies, most mentioned above, that patrolled North and West Texas after March 1, 1864 when both Bourland's Regt. and McCord's 46th Frontier Cavalry were accepted into the Confederacy, which is when records, at least some records, were kept.
