Thanks I have the info regarding the 3rd Miss. That was Pass Christian and the 9th captured the first confederate flag of the Civil War. They gave the flag back to the 3rd Miss vets in 1888 which really got the GAR mad at them. Was first confederate flag returned to the south. Also did work on the forgotten battle of Bonnet Carre Oct 19 1862. This Bay St Louis is really bugging me. There has to be a confederate report on it somewhere. Do you have any clue as to what confederate Cavalry was operating out of there in Oct 1863 or any thing on the Capatain Marshall who the 9th killed. I will see if I can cut and past the company info from the Official Records. Joe
