This group that Poindexter had was in the Fall of 1862. Were caught on crossing the Chariton River north of Glasgow and scattered into Linn county. Many were taken pow and Col. Poindexter was captured in the Yellow Creek bottoms in mid September and jailed in St. Louis for over a year beofre he was released. He recrutied 3 differrent groups of men between the start of the war and the fall of 1862, takeing them south to join Price. The last one didn't work out to well.........Neil Block
