The Civil War Flags Message Board

There are a few letters on Wheat's Batt. in the

LSU library.

Also Shawn check on Burnsides later writings as he tells of one of his units routing very early in the mouring at the very opening of the battle.

The reason for the low casualty in Wheat's battalion is the tactics use by Wheat and the fact many of the soldiers of his command were veterans of Walker.
