OOB Not specific to Ball's Bluff

[edit]

Unfortunately, this is not really the OOB for Ball's Bluff, and is instead a regional OOB. The units actually engaged were a mixed lot of regiments operationally under Baker on the day of the battle (this taken from the same source as the current wiki page, Morgan's battle monograph.) I'm not really sure how to rectify this since the book lists the given OOB, but the text and maps describe which units were actually involved at Ball's Bluff. Doing the citations for compiling an accurate OOB for Ball's Bluff would require constructing an ad hoc OOB from the book. Red Harvest (talk) 08:58, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
