In Response To: Re: Benjamin Talbot ()

Thanks for the tutorial Bruce, I deserved that. I started this string with hopes of coming up with something new by doing a little fishing. Dangle a little bait and see if a big fish will bite. I have become lazy in this new digital age where so much is available on line. When I go to the trouble of setting at the microfilm reader I take my thumb drive or my camera, depends on the facility, so I can record the original document and share it with anyone who has an interest. I was hoping to get something the easy way. Share some knowledge about a local figure, a prominant local figure, in the war in SE Missouri and see if I could determine why the experts had missed him. Much has been written since 1994 about the war and how it was waged in this arena, some has been published that should not even have been written and some has not been published that should have been. It appears to me that there is considerable desire on the part of the general public and the historical society in general to warrant a complete study of the region and let the facts speak for themselves. This is my apology for asking a dumb-ass question in the middle of trying to stimulate a little conversation about an area of the civil war theater that is sorely lacking in willing people knowledgeable enough about the people, places and events that occurred here in the years of 1861 to 1875 to tell the full and complete history of the region. I'm not that person, but I would sure like to help whoever turns out to be the anointed.
