University of Florida Digital Collections. http://ufdc.ufl.edu/FS00000030/00001: Sibley has Perry’s Brigade without a commander and Finegan’s Brigade commanded by BG Joseph Finegan for his June 1864 OOB. However, the source cited here as well as other sources place the combination of the two units as either June 1, 1864 or immediately following the Battle of Cold Harbor. As a result, I have the two brigades combined into one Florida brigade commanded by BG Joseph Finegan. The brigades were definitely combined by July 1864. This is the only month where any confusion over their status shows up. ↩
