If you're in East Texas, you have access to some very good archives at Sam Houston and at Hillsboro, among others. What about SF Austin? Sorry, I can't remember exactly what you're closest to! Check those out for less-published accounts that you may not have seen other places. Borderruffian has posted some Trans-Miss stuff that is local, just the other day. One more thought--I know a number of historians are currently working on more info on Texas troops. I think we're past the day of only concentrating on the East and the big names....I feel your pain. (Have you been to the archives in Austin? I wasn't looking for Civil War stuff when I was there, but I would think there might be some good stuff. That's at least where I got great-granddaddy's pension records)
