Lots of good info there, but here are A few minor corrections for you....

Dockery was not stationed at Mt Elba on March 30. Also, it's on the Saline River. Fagan's division, of which Dockery was a part, was in and around vicinity of Monticello early 1864, but specifically at Longview on that date. Union forces occupied Mt Elba, and Dockery and Crawford attacked them on that date but were repulsed. At the same time most of Union cavalry had just captured the trains at Longview. Not real sure Dockery lost 200 as total of only 300 something captured and Crawford lost quite few as well. That would be fairly easy to determine from the POW records of Little Rock military prison records. Will see what the count is for you.

On Poison Springs info, what citation for Fagan declining? I can't remember reading that but might have occurred, Fagan was a bit prickly. One of his brigades did go, Crawford's.

Nothing major, just a few minor things for you. Have you looked into participation of mounted portion on Missouri raid?
