Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am looking for primary source material (i.e. letters, diaries, journals, reminiscences, newspaper articles, and other postbellum soldier accounts) for 27th Virginia Battalion Mounted Rifles (a.k.a. Trigg's Battalion Partisan Rangers) which was the nucleus for the 25th Virginia Cavalry for the time period of September 1 - October 30, 1863. This was the time period of the Chickamauga Campaign and Wheeler's Raid into the Sequatchie Valley and Middle Tennessee. I am also interested in the battery of mountain howitzers that was organic to the battalion and not a separate organization.

Thank you in advance for your assistance. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Respectfully,
