absolutely! I need to know the engagements he was in, and if possible, the dates, as I am writing a biography of General Armstrong. He's been one difficult fellow to research. Can't even find him on census records. I suppose that is because he was in Indian Territory for most of the time between 1840 and 1889, except for the War. I also cannot find a marriage record for his mother to his step-father General Persifer Smith, which had to have taken place between 1845 and 1854. She had still not remarried in 1845 at the time he entered Holy Cross College. Thanks again!

Will I will send you some information I Have from my sources on Gen Armsrong. Ater his remarried Frank went to Massachusstte to school. After his education he chose a military career He was commissioned a 2nd Lt of Cavalry. Prior to the Civil War he served at a number of frontier posts and was a part Albert Sidney Johnston's expedition to Utah to subdue the Mormons. When the civil war broke out he did not resign his commission. Promoted to captain in Jun 1861, he fought with the Union at the battle of First Bull Run. He re- signed his commission 13 Aug 1861 and accepted a com- mission in the Confederate Army. He was sent to the western theater. Here he served as an aide to BG Ben McCulloch at the Battle of Wilson's Creek August 1861. In Dec he fought in the battle of the Chustenahlah in the Cherokees Nation. His connection with the Cherokee from his up bringing in the Indian Territory made him useful in bringing many of those people to the con- federate side. Early 1862 he was serving BG McCulloch's at Fort Smith. He was at the battle of Pea Ridge Ark, 7 Mar 1862. After the battle served briefly as Col of the 3rd Louisiana Infantry. In Jun 1862 he recieved a promotion to acting BG with command of Major Gen Sterling Price's Cavalry. Will sent more later.
