Tom ,

Thanks for the response. I have heard of the publication of the Lightfoot Brothers' accounts, however, I have not been able to track them down. I now believe I can get copies from the Georgia Quartely folks . Thanks for the lead on the other book , too. Sometimes it seems as if General Gordon was so preoccupied with trying to bend over backwards in efforts toward post war reconciliation between north and south that his writing gets a little carried away with how well-meaning and noble the adversaries were towards each other during the war. He was a great man and I applaude his efforts ; however, 135+ years later , it makes his account of some of the war-time encounters as being a little unrealistic. Thanks agin for the help. Craig
