I really am confused and need an answer to my question. I have the Pvt. F. M. Hunter paper in front of me right now and am trying to make sense of it. He was in the 12th MO. Cav. CO G. according to the info: He was in Shank's Regt. and apperars on a roll of Prisoners of war of CO. F,G and part of H, Shanks Regt. MO. Vol. Cav, Confederate States Army commanded by Capt. R. H. Adams, surrendered at New Orleans, La. by Gen. E.K. Smith CSA to Maj. Gen. E.R.S. Canby, USA May 26, 1865 and paroled at Shreveport, LA June 14, 1865 roll dated Shreveport. June 14 1865. ************************************ Does this mean he was in New Orleans? where was he kept POW for the period between May 26 and June 14?  I wonder why only the 3 CO.s were there if that is what this means., The rest of the 12th were still very active in MO. and Arkansas.  Was he maybe following Shelby South?  Any one Please help, We have set the stone and are having the service on Sept. 24th. I would really like to know what was happening in this time frame to Private F. M. Hunter.  Thanks so much. Shirley Combs in Oregon
