Well, my friend, after talking with you over the years, I know that solving the unanswered questions is only reward you want; but if there's any justice in this world, the State of Arkansas or one of the historical associations ought to give you some kind of attaboy for all your work.

Personally, I've run up against things in my own research that I couldn't make sense out of until you put the pieces together. But I've got a sense that there's still more to do, especially regarding Camp White Sulphur Springs. Remember that Louisiana soldier we found who had been sent back from some battle east of the Mississippi to recuperate at the White Sulphur Springs hospital? That's a hint that the hospital was more than just a local concern.
