Thank you! I truly needed every bit of that for my story I am writing.

***But in regard to the number of men total~a. was it in the 8th Arkansas, or b. was it the 8th
plus combined with the others, how many were there???****
Was it close to 1,000 or close to 2,000?

I know there were 78 left at the end. I do have that list. I do not understand anything military, so
while it seems like I am asking a question that is not necessary, I would like to know.
