Re: 1st Indiana Cavalry - Ellsworth Guns

Though this is only slightly related, I thought you may want to see this auction. I came across it while looking for same information you are hunting. I did determine that the guns were issued to the regiment and were considered "part of the regiment." The men were expected to attend battry drill. I thought possibly the guns were taken during a battle, but I was wrong. I cannot find any other information other than they were "small steel guns." Have you been able to find any other info?
