In Sheridan's memoirs, he talks about a foraging expedition undertaken by the 15th Missouri during which two females were discovered in the command by Colonel Joseph Conrad. They were Sarah Bradbury of Co. L, 2nd Kentucky Cavalry, which was serving as escort during this time and Ella Reno who, I believe, was with the 2nd East Tennessee Cavalry or 27th Illinois Infantry (among other units at various times in the war).

Sheridan's memoirs p. 253-255:

Does anybody know when this foraging expedition took place? It's after the Battle of Stone's River obviously. So I put it between January and March, 1863. But I'm trying to pinpoint a more exact date(s).

I found this older post where somebody mentioned the memoirs of Maurice Marcoot and "Pvt. Smith's Journal" by Pvt. Ben T. Smith.

Does anybody have these books? If so, was there anything mentioned in them about the women being discovered or when this expedition was?

Or are there any more sources out there dealing with the 15th Missouri?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best,
