Yes I have read it......He might have had a conflict with one or more of the locals in KY.......your saftey depends on being in a group you can "trust". Jim Jackson was not captured, he along with 9 other men surrendered in Boone County Fair Grounds, Columbia, and were paroled June ?, 1865. He and Farley were headed to Ill. Word got to Monroe County they were headed that way and men with a score to settle jumped and killed them near Santa Fe. Locals buried them a the back of the cemetery. Have read several accounts where men crossed the Miss. River at Alexandia in extreme NE Mo. G. W. Spears is one of the men surrendered with them and is buried in an unmarked grave in the Huntsville City cemetery..I knew his granddaughter.........Lots of of men who fought in an "irregualar" manner that there name will never appear on paper. The ones you read about where those that kept yanks occupied while the others did the smuggling of supplies, ammo, meds, men going south, families going south.......take what you understand to be the situation in any given county, put yourself in it and figure what it would take to fight a war behind the lines for 4 years.......groups have been following our example ever since............Neil
