Re: R. Murphy's Militia Company

Pages 30-34 (of 48 pages total in this document) are printed copies of several of the Federal reports relating to Marmaduke's attack on Pine Bluff. There is nothing factually new here, but it shows that the commanders of the Department of Missouri believed (or appear to have believed) that Capt. Murphy's militia company at Pine Bluff was Missouri State militia.
