Wish I'd said that. Now, does anyone here know anything about the 10th Missouri Cavalry Rgt., CSA? I know that they participated in the battles at Little Blue, Westport, Trading Post and Mine Creek and I know that at least some of them wound up in Warrensburg after the disgrace at Appomattox. I'd like to find out where they went after Mine Creek and would like to locate any documentation of unit actions.
