Hello Everyone, Yesterday I was reading through Kit Dalton's book "Under the Black Flag" and came across a rather cryptic statement and was wondering if anyone on the list can shed some light. In Chapter XIII Battles, Battles, Ever Battles!--Lone Jack Pg 78 "How in the name of reason Colonel Cockrell ever got it into his head that we had any hopes of surprising the enemy at this late hour has puzzled many a military man of greater dimensions than the Little Captain who wore a name in "The War of the West" that shall remain a secret, I trust, for all time." Any ideas on just who this "Little Captain" was? Thanks for any help! Alinda Miller Lone Jack, Missouri
