I am about half-way through Robert Schultz' The March to the River." Thus far a good read. Makes me wonder if Curtis had not been denuded of troops, what else he may have accomplished in 1862.

In any case, On page 185 is a photo labeled Thomas C. Hindman. I am not convinced. Am of the opinion that it is a likeness of Brig. Gen Wesley Fraser, who lived in Arkansas for a while after the war.

Anyone else have this quite good book? Take a look at pg. 185 and weigh in on the matter. My wife thinks it's Hindman, but she cannot be trusted in this matter.
