Are the published versions in both script and print? I obtained the 1862 summer & winter letters from the University of Arkansas for copy cost and signing a reproduction agreement.
Have you read the Darkest Days of the War, by Peter Cozzins? It had some of the movements of Phifer's Brigade and showed the Sharpshooters on the left like a line Infantry Regiment. After all the training, it was a wast to not use them as skirmishers. Have you read all the info on this board concerning sharpshooters, Stirman and Bridges who brought a lt Bn of SS from the 6th & 9th TX Cavs? Very interesting! A litttle more on the Texas board. I have a little as I am researching two brothers in Company I, 6th TX who were in Company I of Spirman's Regiment.
