What evidence do we have for the designation of "Trans-Mississippi Rife Regiments" being created by General Price's Staff? Since the Regiments that received these designations were the new regiments that were created during General Hindman's command, isn't it more likely that it was Hindman, and not Price that created this designation?
Doesn't Hindman refer to some of these regiments in his Order books as Trans-Mississippi Rifle Regiments?
