LTC Samuel J. Ward, 8th MO Cav Regt, CSA, settled in Shreveport following the war. He eventually became parish sheriff and inspector of the militia in the district. I have found his biography in Shreveport and Shreveport Builders. Would anyone have happened to run across anything on this man in your research? I am hoping that he left papers or a memoir of his service but have not found anything as yet in the LSU or Tulane collections.
