Correction: Capt. Joshua Wickson's Battery, which went into action at the Tulip Creek Ford on the Willow Road, is not a Texas Battery. It is the St. Petersburg (Florida) Battery of six 12 lb Napoleons and is part of Maj. Gen. Hamilton B. Smead's 2nd Division, II Corps, Department of the Eastern Frontiner. Its flag was mis-identified.
Also, the markings on an earlier map where incorrect. Capt. Richardson's Battery F, Kentucky Light Artillery was at the far Federal right. Capt. Sides Battery D, 3rd Missouri Light Artillery was positioned in the center of the Federal 2nd Division.
The labels for Missouri and Kentucky Confederate infantry brigades were also inverted on the 7:45 a.m. map. (What was it about MO and KY???)
