Post 1860 Army 44 (way off topic)

Does anyone know a Civil War Buff that might have the regimental history of the 18th Penn. Vol. Cav., 163rd Reg. P.A. Vol's ?. The reprints are very expensive and I live down South. I have ser.#95790. It went through lots of serious times in "The War of Northern Aggression". I still shoot it occasionally. It functions fine with its original nipples and springs. No finish, understandably, they were used and rode hard. Amazingly accurate. I would like to ID it better. I can only find out that it was used in Farnsworth's charge under custer (can't capital that name south of the Mason Dixon Line). Thanks for the Off Topic , and by the way, half the family tree is from Philly P.A. Some even reenact IN BLUE!. Can you imagine?

Thanks Roadkill, I'm going there now! I got the bug to find out more about this old horse before I get to the old homestead and get to go shooting. I moved years ago but left the family guns in situ. I go back and it's like being a kid again. Thanks again , all I had was the PA-Roots.com which listed the battles and such. These Soldiers were run hard. They earned their Monuments even if they wore blue.
