Couple of Awesome Trans-MS C.S. QM Records

[Mississippian]

Gents,

Was looking for something else when I found these records in the file of Capt. Thomas Hinkle QM of the 7th Missouri Infantry (CS). I've had problems in the past finding Trans MS QM records so finding something like this was quite a break. These issues come just a few weeks before the Battle of Prairie Grove Ark. As always, a tip of the cap to Footnote.

Thanks for the info. I love Trans Miss stuff.
When you were looking around did you come across anything about the 6th Mo. C.S.?

These come from the papers of Capt. W.H. Elstner, he was the AQM for the 2nd Arkansas Mounted Rifles early in the war and served as the Brigade QM for Gen's McNair and Reynolds for most of the war.
