Re: Spruce McCoy Baird
Mike,
From the cards on the regt.
The organization of Baird's Regiment Texas Cavalry ( also known as 4th Regiment Aeizona Brigade and as Showalter's Regiment Texas Cavalry ) was authorized bt S.O.(Special Order) #81 Hdqrs. Dist. of Tex. and N.Mex. and Ariz. dated Feb. 2, 1863. which states that the Regiment is to be formed in New Mexico and Arizona. It appears the men where enlisted in Texas.
