Craig, You may want to look at: Letters of Three Lightfoot Brothers, 1861-1864, by Edmund Cody Burnett, found in The Georgia Historical Quarterly, vol. 25, no. 4. The article addresses Col. James Newell Lightfoot of the 6th AL, and his brother Capt. Thomas R. Lightfoot of Co. B, 6th AL.

Also, there is possibly something in: Reminiscences of the Past Sixty Years, by Dr. John Brevard Alexander (Charlotte, NC: Presses of Ray Printing Co., 1908). The author talks briefly of Gordon and the 6th AL, although I do not know if there is anything more on the regiment in this book. Tom
