Capt Bowman Turney and 150 of his men died of disease. Seems the Union was surprized when they showed up.....there were no supplies for the men, no uniforms, guns, tents, food. For several days they had to just sleep on the ground and it rained. So no wonder many became ill.
Look at Ed Gedes Civil War page on this unit.
