TFA blurb review
Slayback's Missouri Cavalry Regiment was a unit of the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. Originally raised as battalion, it consisted of men recruited in Missouri by Lieutenant Colonel Alonzo Slayback during Price's Raid in 1864. The battalion's first action was at the Battle of Pilot Knob on September 27. During October it participated in actions at Sedalia, Lexington, the Little Blue River, the Big Blue River, the Westport, the Marmiton River, and the Second Battle of Newtonia. The battalion was briefly furloughed in Arkansas before rejoining Major General Sterling Price in Texas in December. Probably around February 1865, the battalion reached official regimental strength after additional recruits were added to it. On June 2, the Confederate Trans-Mississippi Department surrendered. The men of the regiment were paroled twelve days later, leading the historian James McGhee to believe that the regiment had disbanded before the surrender.

 * - Looks good to me, thanks. Landis's Battery is running at TFA today, so I'll wait a few months to nominate this one for TFA, as the Mo. CSA units are pretty similar to each other. Hog Farm Bacon 17:08, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
