Thanks, I have all my files, books etc in another location and not here when I replied. My memory failed me as to exact dates of the arrival of Feds in vic of Ft Thompson. I knew it was in Feb but my mind tried to tell me it was not that early. Thanks for the clarification. I guess I should have to carry a fence rail for forgetting since I used to have all that 11th Ark info at the tip of my fingers and clear in my mind.
