In Response To: Re: Devil's Backbone ()

Mike,

Thanks for the reply.

So I guess that would be the;

1st AR (Monroe)
1st AR St (Thompson)
2nd AR (Crawford)
7th AR (Hill)

At least that is what I get if I cross reference the OR with Oates' listings from his "Confederate Cavalry West of the River" appendices.

I'm trying to identify the specific unit designations at the time. The Confederate habit of naming or simply referring to units by their commander's name kind of makes it tough.

I'm also curious if any other Union units accompanied Blunt and Cloud on the campaign but did not actually participate in the battle.

Again, thanks for the help.

Manny
