Posted on: DeSoto Parish La Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/La/DeSoto/10828 Surname: MARTIN ------------------------- In 1998, the University of Arkansas Press published my book, "Peculiar Honor: A History of the 28th Texas Cavalry, 1862-1865." Twenty men from DeSoto Parish served in Company K of the 28th Texas Cavalry. Company K was first commanded by Patrick H. MARTIN. The 28th Texas served as a dismounted unit in Walker's Texas Division; they fought at Mansfield, Pleasant Hill, and Jenkins Ferry. If you have any letters, diaries, or wartime photographs that relate to the 28th Texas, please let me know.
