Of these recruits, six, the first on the list, came to
us in February and March, 1862; the next three
joined us in April, 1862; the remaining four joined
us in 1863, while we were in Mississippi.
The company consisted mainly of natives of the
different Southern States, with a few native Texans.
Aside from these we had Buxton, from the State
of Maine; Milligan, from Indiana, and three
foreigners, William Hood, an Englishman; John
Dunn, Irish, and John Honson, a Swede. Milligan
was a printer, and being too poor to buy his outfit
when he joined us, he was furnished with horse and
accouterments by our friend, B. Miller, a German
citizen of Rusk.
