What opened the door was an OR V45 search “Missouri Cavalry.”

Like to see what Dunbar has on the unit and the alias 2nd Corinthians

William Wier eventually rose to the rank of Lt. Col. in this unit. He was gravely wounded at the battle of Peach Tree Creek, July 22, 1864. He returned to Enterprise to recuperate. His final assignment after recovery during the war was as commander of a short-lived unit that Rowland Dunbar's Military History of MS, page 144 called the First Confederate Veterans. That unit was a combination of different troops pulled together in a unit that Col. Wier called the 2nd Corinthians.
