In Response To: Re: My prisoner, my brother ()

Terry Justice, who wrote Gallant Breed about Shelby's brigade, and who posts a lot to Missouri message list, wrote recently " I have accounts from Shelby's brigade of men captured by their brothers, released and then captured by the other brother. An example comes from Shelby's brigade where a member of the 3rd Battalion 6th MSM was surrendered at Neosho in Oct 1863 paroled and when reinstated, subsequently participated in chasing after Shelby during the Price raid. The former POW brother then captures his brother at Westport and then escorts him to St Louis. "
