Colonel Anisansel is the senior cavalry commander in Lander's Division in January 1862. Historically, to say that Lander was less than satisfied with his performance at Bloomery Gap in February 1862 would be an understatement. The skirmish was the end of his military career.
I am working on the Bloomery Gap map for THE WINTER WAR simulation. One source I used to help make the map was this map, found on page 241 of Frederick W. Lander: The Great Natural American Soldier, by Gary L. Ecelbarger (Louisiana State University Press, Baton Rouge, 2000). It is an excellent book on Lander, including the period covered in the simulation.
