What units did they fight with in the Civil War?


I recall Slim Sherman fought for the Union and Jess Harper for the Confederacy, but was it ever disclosed what regiments they fought with? Jess was likely with a Texas regiment, maybe not the 1st Texas that was slaughtered at Antietam, but I am not sure. I have no idea about Slim. Does anybody know?

I believe Slim said he served with the 23rd Volunteers (I'm assuming Wyoming) in one of the first 10 or so episodes. Haven't seen Jess say anything about who he served with as of yet.
