I was wondering where I can find an account of the Battle of Ringgold Gap? It may be Battle of Ringgold Gap/ Taylor Ridge. There was a campaign there 11/27/1863, I think. I appreciate any help in locating any information on this battle. Janet

Just recently found the newspaper item from the Columbia Statesman, May 2, 1862 issue. Death at Alton. John M. Robert, Jr., son of Dr. William R. Roberts, of Rocheport , died in Alton, Ill., whilst under arrest as a prisoner of war. His disease was consumption. ... His remains were brought to Rocheport by his father and interred at Walnut Grove Cemetery. Errors were made in the names. Dr. John William Roberts has a stone in the Walnut Grove Cemetery, and the name of his son was John William Roberts, Jr. I have found 7 John W. Roberts on the Missouri Civil War listing, but not sure which one would be the correct one. I found one John W. Roberts on the Alton prison list who was a PVT. in Shelbys Missouri, but he was captured in Oct. of 1864 and died in Feb. of 1865. He was buried on State Ground. Another I found in the state archives was in "Col. McKenney's Reg't M.S.G. Condererate. Prisoner." He's listed as a 1st Lt. and in the Mo State Guard. Any help appreciated.

Autobiography of Samuel S Hildebrand, is running late, edited by Kirby Ross. I called University of Arkansas press and they said I could order it directly through them and as soon as it was released they would mail it to me directly. They were guessing it would be available about the time my check arrived. University of Arkansas Press 201 Ozark Fayetteville Ar 72701 1 800 626 0090 Thanks Adruain Cato

The book by Donald Gilmore got a bit delayed by the drama that hit New Orleans. Pelican Publishing is located in that vicinity, thus the delay from October to December release.....What a Christmas present for all that inquire and a lot of new info. Very controversial I am sure it will be. Claiborne

Hey Rose Mary Langford, Be looking out for Donald Gilmores book. You will be wanting to ad it to the collections. Donald doesn't do this group on this roots web, but he has a track record. You probably know him. The new book is, ""Warfare on the Missouri/Kansas Border"". Be looking for it, it works with everything you have done and still work for. Thanks Rose Mary, Claiborne Scholl Nappier

Oh I dont like these kind of debates.. but yes, Indians have been taken by Euro's as slaves, some were even taken to Europe... as for Indians being slave owners, yes, some were, however, Indians had a hard time with the concept of "owning" people, as much as they could not grasp the concept of "owning" land. Their slaves, were treated as equals... not a lessor class, and even given their own "tribal name" of sorts, like "Cherokee Freedman" which means they had been with the Cherokee and now were Freedmen... other tribes did the same. But not all tribes had slaves, in fact, few tribes had slaves. As far as tribes making slaves of other Indians... never heard about it, I am 46 years old, born into the Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma... learned many stories of my people and of other peoples (my tribe was once part of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma) Indians were not perfect, no one was... the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma first began with supporting the confederates, and later switched sides..
