My ancestor James C. Palmer, Company I, 40th Mississippi Infantry was in both the Battle of Iuka and Corinth. His diary is missing the Corinth dates (and several other pages/dates) and I am trying to determine which battles he was involved in. Was the 40th at the Battle of Hatchie's Bridge? My research so far seems to indicate that the Confederate Army as a whole was moving out when this battle happened. I know that he was in Holly Springs shortly after this and they moved out of there 24 October 1862. Any info on the activities of the 40th between 5 Oct. and 24 Oct. would be a great help! Thanks.
