Adruain, sorry but I inadvertantly neglected to answer your question regarding Hildebrand's "hideaway," which Hildebrand referred to as being headquarters for him and the Bolins in his book. Their presence was fairly open, though, as they were living in huts with their families and were raising crops. Based upon his references to headquarters being burned out by "Captain John" (Capt. Abijah Johns, 3rd MSM Cav) in August 1864, and cross-referencing Union reports and personal accounts of the Federal raid during which that event occurred, Hildebrand's headquarters was located at Scatterville, Ark. Except for the Scatterville Cemetery, Scatterville no longer exists. The village was located a few miles northwest of present-day Rector.--Kirby Ross -- ___________________________________________________ Play 100s of games for FREE! http://games.mail.com/
