Re: Rutherford's Arkansas Cavalry Regiment
Roger, I think that several of the small orphan "regiments" listed on the NPS site are really only company size organizations probably acting independently when the individual was captured so he just gave the name of his commander as his unit. I suspect Rutherford’s' Arkansas Cavalry Regiment is really the company that was associated with Dobbins 1st Arkansas Cavalry Regiment. I believe there are several examples of this unit operating independently.
