Bryan H. Re :Gerdes Page correction

Bryan,

I just discovered something that might need to be addressed. On the Ed Gerdes page there is a group of soldiers attributed to being Tennesseans who served in the 4th Ark Cav, US. It reads as if the person was stating these were Tenn soldiers who crossed the river and served with the 4th Ark Cav US. I don't know if this has ever came up, but these men are not from Tenn,, but actually Arkansas soldiers who happened to have been born in Tenn. While working on my thesis research, I saw this and realized that these men were indeed Arkansawyers, many being mere babes or youths when they came to Ark years previous, while others were recent (pre 1860). Just thought someone should know if it has not been identified. Could mislead folks doing research if they weren't sure about who they were looking for.
