Yes, sir, Tom is definitely the "go to" guy on Civil War uniforms. His depth of knowledge on the subject is awesome. But I've read too many accounts (Confederate and Union) of Confederates wearing captured Union uniform items to be entirely dismissive of the conjecture that some of the Confederate cavalrymen were so equipped.

Regardless, I'm glad that you are researching the Longview affair. It has always been somewhat overshadowed in the wake of the momentous events that followed in April 1864.

Keep up the good work, my friend.
