You are correct ken what happans in LA does not stay in LA. Anyway do you know anything about the 1st and 2nd Ark Cav USV? I have one reference which I posted in which they have quite a history with Mo in that Mo Cav along with I beleive the 1st Wis raided Washington County Ark and brought the boys over to Mo and the 1st and 2nd fought in Mo a fair amount and then all three units fought in Ark. I was wondering is the 1st and 2nd being raised from fine southern gentlemen adhered to General Hallacks Order #100 of 1863 which set a code of regulations on how the boys in blue were to protect the innocent Missourians and punish the bad ones. It may not of been folowed to the letter.

Thanks;
