Found Him
In Response To: "Maj. White" October 1862 ()

Found him. For a man with such an oversized role, he left behind a small footprint. He was Major Frank J. White, 2nd Missouri State Militia Cavalry Battalion, on duty at the time as Provost Marshal General of Central Missouri, based in Jeff City. My interest in him was in regard to the 65 man detail he took across the river into southern Callaway County in late September 1862, captured and hung guerrilla Capt. William Nevins, and then burned several houses of men purported to have been riding with him.
