    3. Bob and Duke, I looked at the web page Bob mentioned http://www.rootsweb.com/~flescamb/civwar.htm In the section by Bernie Short - 1862 - it mentions a track beinging completed between Muscogee and 15-Mile Station and has (Cantonment) right after 15-Mile Station. I guess that makes sense, because Muscogee Rd. runs west from Cantonment to Muscogee. However, in a book I have called Pensacola During the Civil War by George F. Pearce, on p. 145 there is a small map which shows 15 Mile Station and right under that in parentheses it says (Gonzalez). Oakfield is also on the map and appears to be about 7-8 miles south of the dot for 15-mile Station. I don't know if the author meant Gonzalez was the same as 15-Mile Station, or if if was just showing Gonzalez to be south of 15-Mile Station. In the same section at 1863 , it says "Federals scout from Pensacola to Oakfield." In the next part submitted by Lee Scott, it mentions nine horsement approaching Fort McLellan on the Oakfield Rd.. I don't know of Fort McLellan. We still have an Oakfield Rd. on our Pensacola maps. Lee Scott is on this list, and she just wrote an email, so maybe she will answer and shed some light on it.
