Research help needed

Chuck,
 
Below are links to two articles I need help researching. I would like for some who understand troop strength  to inform me the total Confederate strength vs. the Union strength. A plus would be the names of units for each side. and the number of men on each side. I have some information from the ORs but not much. As you can see these native troops are made out to be great heroes and fighters, I just don’t think that is true.
