Re: Cols. John S. Scott & Fred. N. Ogden

Ogden and Scott are in my new book on Confederate army colonels (U of MO Press), titled, surprisingly enough, "Confederate Colonels. A Biographical Register." My book on KY-born Confederate Generals, which will include a 2500-word bio article of Adams, will be out next month (U Press of KY).

Scott was in hot water throughout his career for disobeying orders. However, the 1865 arrest seems to have occurred on charges he was too cozy with cotton speculators, both rebel and Yankee.
