[edit]

What is the source for this page? I've noticed a notable oddity in the fact that it includes Elliot's brigade, which was the central unit in the Battle of the Crater only one day after this battle. Nothing is mentioned about this brigade in the page, nor the maps I've seen. It would have been quite fascinating if a unit managed to participate in both battles, but it seems unlikely, hence my wondering about the source. Furthermore, according to Slotkin, Elliot was wounded at the Crater, not 1st Deep Bottom. Even more confusing, the Crater order of battle has Elliot leading his brigade but not wounded, but that's a separate problem. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Captkrob (talkcontribs) 15:37, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
