I found this Hollywood Film-Bio on John Ross,and the John Ridge feud early day,until his death in 1866. little/to nothing about the civil war ? It aired here in april it's 1 hour long, form the time he was a small boy and a clerk for his father store in Ga.All try to show him in good light? Called "The Trail of Tears"- Part of the American Experience film.
I'll E-Mail the story on the lost moneys> when found. I Don't think it add much to this story as it was never found and he Ross died reportly- broke.
