Yes sir, there are answers to a lot of questions burried in the exchanges that have been posted on this sight through the years. I know you are one of the Dobbins experts on the sight, I would appreciate any feed back you have on the Wikipedia Article on Dobbins unit that I edited based on postings to this board. I have a difficult time understanding what happend after Dobbins was released following his dispute with Marmaduke after the Marmaduke Walker Duel. I know Shelby certianly contacted Dobbins when he moved in to NE Ark in the spring 1864, but it has never been clear to me if the regiment that Dobbins took with him on Price's Raid was really his old 1st Arkansas Cavalry that he commanded during Helena and Little Rock Campaigns, or if that unit remained in south Arkansas following his departure from the army and he raised a new unit for the raid. His at least two of his old commanders, McGehee and Rutherford seem to have struck out on their own by the spring/summer of 64. Any thoughts?
