Thanks for bringing Dixie Odyssey back up. It is a comprehensive researched history of the regiment. I am glad to provide any information I have to anyone interested. I have the Raff book, published after Dixie Odyssey. It tells a lot of the daily life of a regiment member and and is a good source for that topic.

Really? I think the 15th Ohio did too...even though they weren't with Rosecrans' main force, they fought with Morris, and also served in Texas.
