Re: Number of Pieces for Tennessee Campaign

Ron,

This is in the same series of inspections that the Army of Tennessee went through during that week near Lovejoy Station.

Record Group 109, Microfilm Publication M935 is the Inspection Reports and Related Records Received by the Inspection Branch in the Confederate Adjutant and Inspector General's Office (A&IGO). There are eighteen rolls to this collection and contain the inspections of 1864 and 1865.

This material in large part did not make it into the "Official Records" but only small bits and pieces made it into the CSR when it refers to an officer and you see the "card" in the CSR stating that they were present, commanding, hospital by medical authority, etc. You don't see the detail in the reports of the condition of the soldiers, the equipment, the horses or mules, ammunition, if they men were receiving religious support regularly, etc. Only two reports exist that I know of and the first is during the third week of August (around the 20th give or take a few days) and the other is at Lovejoy Station (around September 16-20, 1864).

Thanks for the quick response.

Respectfully,
