Below is a list of the commanding officers Union and Confederate listed in this article.
The page numbering system was added by me and used for referencing this
list and may not correspond with the original manuscript or other publications
of this article. To risk making things too complicated a short explanation is
necessary. J = Jerry supplied the full name * = Biography listed on this website NFI = No further information found TMTD = To many to determine Any information in brackets ( ) is additional information I have researched and added. I take responsibility for any errors or misinformation. I am not an expert on Civil War history, I'm simply someone who likes details whenever possible and think it adds to the overall picture. I am going to attempt to add biographies of some of the commanders, units and individual people mentioned in Jerry's article. This will require a good deal of research in some cases and I have just started. There are some cases where it is impossible to determine exactly who the article is referring to simply because there were a number of commanding officers with the same surname. I haven't decided exactly how to handle this yet, I may just give a short biography on each, I will post more information on this later. |
