Bruce Allardice"Burr tailed regiment"Mon Jan 22 11:42:47 2001 I agree with all that has been said above about Col. Lowe and the "Burr Tailed Regiment". I suspect this was a federal name for an amorphous band/unit that Lowe commanded, made up of deserters and guerillas. I not only d0ubt it was known to the Confederate government, I doubt it ever formally organized itself as a regiment.William Manning Lowe — Alan J. Pitts, Tue Jan 23 11:15 13th Ala.
