Benjamin Riggs' grandchildren (I believe grandson) a few years ago lived in Nashville, Tenn. He and his wife made a trip back to Pine Bluff with a handwritten several page account of Benjamin Riggs exploits written by Benjamin himself.

They were surprised to find out that his account was true. They thought it was an old man's fable, like so many others. We, the SCV, obtained a copy of Benjamin' s account which was, I believe, some 12 pages long. Ron Kelley over at the Delta Cultural center now, when he was teaching at the St. Joseph Academy in Pine Bluff had his class work on transcribing Benjamin's account. I don't know what became of it.
