Much is  written about both the Union Zouaves and those from the Confederacy

Good to hear from you. That is how I first got the information on the
"Pittsburg Fire Zouaves." I found it on a "Zouave Database" website. The  "Pittsburg
Fire Zouaves" are listed under VA, WV & PA & are described as  being from
company D of each regiment. Just checking to see if anyone had any  more
information on them. I know the VA Infantry regiment evolved into a WV  Cavalry
regiment. A red flag went up, since I have never seen a Cavalry group  listed as
Zouave.
Sincerely,

Mike  Peters
