As you may have guessed this is not an absolute true translation of the Spanish text but I have tried to retain the feel and hope the interesting data, words where I could not find a good translation are included in Spanish with an English equivalent. Although I have replaced the word "Forge" and made it into "Forage" in the Artillery section, you should find the following chapter helpful as it also gives a break-down of Regimental units but from an American translation of the time.
