  • Looking for pics and info

    To all,

    I am first looking for a scan of the picture from the echos of glory series that shows a union soldier with his gun blanket on (the photo is done in a studio it looks like).

    I am also looking for any info regarding the Battle of Big Gum Creek, FL between the 4th Mass. Cav. Vol. and the 2nd FL cav. (CS) on Oct 24. Thanks for all your help.

    I can only find a brief mention of the skirmish at Gum Creek in the OR's, it seems that 2 companies of the 4th Massachusetts Cavalry, (numbering about 50 men) went out and ran into a larger confederate force and was forced to retreat, with at least 29 men becoming casualties, including 3 killed.

      Yea I found a little more info by piecing together some website info but didn't know if there is more out there. I will hopefully be able to hit some archives and find some more.
