Kentucky Orphan Brigade

Just wanted to add, for future reference of those reading this thread, that the 41st was part of the Kentucky Orphan Brigade previous to being assigned to Gracie's/Moody's Brigade. It fought at the Battle of Murfreesboro/Stone's River with the Orphan Brigade. This is the battle where this brigade earned the nickname "Orphan Brigade", and most importantly, the 41st was the primary reason that it earned this name...instead of the Kentucky regiments. Long story.
