When did Gen VAN DORAN take charge of the 3rd Regt Ark Cav?
Colonel Solon BORLAND was assigned command of Upper Arkansas, of Western Dept, of Confederate States Army at Pocahontas, Ark on 5 Nov 1861 til 15 Jan 1862 after Gen Wm J HARDEE left, Solon became ill, asked for and received a leave, gone the 15 Decemeber 1861. Best I can find, to never return from Little Rock because of his illness, (even though his name is sprinkeled around as being with his regitment). He was discharged 26 May 1862 at Cornith, MS when not reelected.
But ---- when did Gen VAN DORAN appear at Pocahontas and take charge of 3rd Regiment Arkansas Cavalry, and who was incharge after Solon left 15 Dec?
