During the Battle of Prarie Grove Dec 1862, Gen Shelby was briefly captured by the MO 1st Cavalry who was lead by Maj. Hubbard and were acting as Gen. Herron's bodyguards.
In the OR and in Fields of Blood by W. Shea, it says Shelby "surrendered" to Hubbard, but before Shelby could be taken from the field a group of CSA rescued him. Fields of Blood claims the men were from TX. In the footnotes Shea does note others have claimed it was Quantrill's men who rescued him.
Q? Do most of the Shelby biographers ignor this event? Why?
Q? Who did rescue Shelby?
Q? What date did Quantrill leave for Richmond? Did he participate in any event during the Praire Grove Battle
November/December 1862?
Q? Was Frank or Jesse at the Prairie Grove Battle?
Thanks!
