Re: Bay St Louis Oct 5 1863
Thanks Alan. Ill look up the USS Commodore maybe ships log will have info. I knew the 9th had burned Grandgulf and some houses on Youngs Point across from Vicksburg but never heard about them torching Bay St Louis. I ordered the 15 Confederate Cavalry book online yesterday. I want to see if 7 men from the Confederate Cavalry were killed as is stated in the report and that Capt Marshallwas mortally wounded I guess thats why they left him. Are there any confederate cemeteries in Bay St Louis as it was a Confederate camp Im sure others must have died from sickness.
