James H. Campbell Memoir

First, would anyone like to transcribe part of a memoir written by James H. Campbell, who was a member of Wood's Battalion of Missouri cavalry? It's quite vivid and riveting. Wood accompanied Sterling Price on his Missouri Invasion in the fall of 1864. Many of the battalion's members were from northern Arkansas.

Second, E. Taylor Campbell of St. Joseph, Missouri gave me a copy of the diary in the 1970s, and after a long interval I am trying to contact him. Unfortunately, he's no longer listed in the phone directory. I'd like to locate him or his descendents.

There may be Campbells related to E. Taylor Campbell living in Arkansas and Tennessee since James H. Campbell came from Searcy County, Arkansas and his father from Tennessee.
