[Bryn-gwlad] [OT] Civil War fact-checking help, please

[Ray Smith]

Greetings, Bryn Gwlad.
   
  I have a bit of a dilemma I'm hoping someone more knowledgeable in matters of the Civil War era than I can help me with.
   
  I'm working on a story to be included in a fantasy/science-fiction anthology for (overseas) publication.  The story itself it set in the Old West circa 1867.
   
  The opening scene takes place on a Confederate battlefield in 1864 (I had originally pictured it in Georgia, 1863, but found that there weren't any Georgia battlefields in 1863, so had to either move it to Mississippi or 1864.)
   
  What I would like is if someone could possible give it a look to see if (1) the setting itself isn't jarring, and (2) if I did a reasonable job with cannonball damage (I could not find any quick good sources for that).
   
  If anyone interested would please contact me off-list...any help would be greatly appreciated.
