| See CONFEDERATE OPERATIONS IN CANADA AND THE NORTH, Oscar A.Kinchen;19 October 1864 is the date of a rather famous raid on St.Albans. This was conducted by uniformed Confederates who had the good fortune to operate against Home Guards and the Invalid Corps.Many texts on this as well; also a movie which starred a well known actor.
