Nathan B. Dickerson was my gggrandfather. He served the confederacy in the 26th Arkansas Infantry Co. H. He filed for confederate pension. Later he was also in the 2nd Arkansas Union Infantry. While with the Union he deserted repeatedly and apparently did not want to be there. During the war he is said to have been involved in a shooting and moved his family to Texas then later returning to Arkansas. Trying to figure the nature of the switching sides and if he was granted pension.
