This is regards my blog entry of September 1 on Augustus Beckmann who was mortally wounded at the Battle of Shiloh, buried at Camp Dennison in Cincinnati under the wrong name and later moved to Camp Chase in Columbus.
He served in the 2nd Texas Infantry.
From the Texas State Historical Association.
The 2nd Texas Infantry was organized at Galveston, Texas, in September 1861 to protect the Texas coast. The regiment moved to Camp Bee in Houston that September to complete its training. It had ten companies.
By March 1862, it moved to Corinth, Mississippi, where it became part of the Army of the Mississippi, under General Albert Sidney Johnston.
