One thing to keep in mind is that there were two military district headquarters in Confederate Florida... that I know of. This may have (or probably did) change from time to time and I think that they were in effect consolidated by the end of the war. One was in Quincy, Gadsden County, and General Howell Cobb established Camp Lamar Cobb near Quincy when he was commander there (Lamar Cobb was his son & adjutant). The other was at Lake City, Columbia County. There seem to have been several names applied to the Confederate encampment near Lake City from which the Battle of Olustee was fought and there may have been another or others in the vicinity. It appears that the defensive posture of the Confederate forces within Florida was very fluid... essentially a mobile defence that anticipated and responded to Union activities. As various units came & went it seems that in some cases at least, they gave the same place a different name. A friend of mine and fellow member (at different times) of D Co 1/502d Infantry in Vietnam, Mr. Mike Kelley, recently published the results of a massive effort entitled _Where We Were_ with over 600 pages of information about places named by Americans in Vietnam. We probably don't think much of military efforts in Florida during the Civil War period now, because of a focus of going on the better part of a century and a half, on main battle areas of the Armies of Northern Virginia and Tennessee. But Florida was nothing like a vacuum. On a small scale there were continuous military activities here throughout the war. If it weren't for the thin & scattered nature of some of the documentation, a compilation of similar information for Florida could probably reach two or three hundred pages. There should be quite a story there, if it can be ferreted out. I'm glad to hear that Mr. Smedlund is working on this subject area. RW MAUREEN POOLE wrote: >My g-g-grandfather enlisted at Camp Lee.
