Thanks to those who replied to my query regarding General Armstrong. I see from rosters that he was assigned to Jackson's Division, under Brig. General William H. Jackson, during the Atlanta Campaign, and that these men were fighting dismounted at Pine Mountain at the time General Leonidas Polk was killed there. Where was Jackson's Division between the fight at Pine Mountain until the Fall of Atlanta? I know Armstrong was still in Jackson's Division at Franklin, and Nashville, but have had difficulty tracing the movement of Jackson's cavalry from Kennesaw through to the Seige at Atlanta, to it's capitulation to Sherman. Thanks again, Will

Scaife (pub by author, Atlanta, 1985) and "Decision in the West" by Albert Castel (Univ Press of KS, Lawrence, 1992), all the references for Jackson's cavalry puts them on the Confederate left flank - covering the left at Kennesaw, guarding the western (left end of the line) fords of the Chattahoochee, west of Atlanta at the beginning of Stoneman's Raid, and then patrolling the area between Atlanta and Jonesborough.

A few months back I wrote to the list concerning a John Leith DUNCAN, born in Scotland about April, 1835, who emigrated to the United States sometime around 1863 and was said to have died in the Civil War, aged 29. Thanks to some very helpful list members, I narrowed my search to a "John L. Duncan" of "I" Company, New York 66th, who was wounded 6/22/1864 at Petersburg, Virginia, and who died of wounds 9/9/1864 at Petersburg Virginia. However, I have now been informed of a family gravestone at Kennethmont, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, which gives his date and place of death as follows: Died 18th August 1864 at Richmond USA of wounds received in battle. There were some 200-odd John Duncans in the Union army (and I can't yet rule out the CSA). As a way to start, is there an electronic way of searching casualties in either or both armies by date (or place) of death? I'm not yet ruling out the John L. Duncan of the NY 66th....
