PLEASE do.
i appreciate your help.
fyi, i was "talking with" a coworker at my night job about this subject (Gerry is a Creek/French halfbreed & a WBTS reenactor.).
he said, "i wonder IF the REASON there seems to be a "disconnect" here is that the General SOLD most everything he had to outfit the 1st Mounted Cherokee Rifles. Many southern officers did just that."
is Gerry correct??? i simply don't know. nonetheless, it's ONE possible explaination.
