This is an except from a report made March 15, 1864 by Col. Wm D Wood, 11th MO Cav. This occurred in Izard County, Arkansas.
In the morning, learning of the existence of a gang of bushwhackers, I sent Lieutenant Thomas with 20 men of Company K, with instructions if found, to either kill or capture them. Coming up with a small squad of them, he fired upon them and gave them chase, in the end killing 2, wounding 1, an capturing a fourth; 1 of those killed was a negro desperado known as Wildwood Jack.
