This question is for Bruce Allardice (or anyway who might know), but I was reading through Bruce's great new work, Confederate Colonels, and under his entry for Archibald Dobbins it notes that Dobbins was last seen "alive in Rio de Janeiro in 1874, running a hotel." I've been researching Dobbins for a while now as part of a larger project on the Southern exodus to Latin America following the war and I have never read this before. As far as I've been able to confirm, Dobbins disappeared on the Amazon in 1869. So I'm really curious about where the reference to Dobbins being in Rio in 1874 might have come from??

Thanks,
Matt
