While this is a good start, and we certainly should have an article about this unit, this is not yet ready to publish. The main issue is that you need WP:Reliable sources, properly footnoted to the statements made. I looked on GoogleBooks, and there are just tons of mentions of this unit, so this could be very easy to source from there. See WP:Referencing for beginners if that would help.

Further, though I'm not an expert on such articles, I believe there are pretty standardised formats for writing about American Civil War units. I suggest you check out the page WikiProject_Military_history/American_Civil_War_task_force and take a look at their "Good articles" section. Find an article for a similar unit, and copy that formatting so yours is laid out similar and written in a similar structure, for the sake of uniformity and easy reading.

If you need any help from experts on military articles, post your question at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Military_history. WP:MILHIST is one of the strongest associations on all of Wikipedia, so they can certainly give good advice. One you've made improvements, if you like you can ping me directly to re-review your article so you don't need to wait so long for the follow-up. Just post on my Talk page when you think it's ready for a next look. MatthewVanitas (talk) 18:02, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
