Question about the following update in the "Appendix P. ..Some Military Posts and Hideouts in Indian Territory" section of my book. In the 2nd paragraph, should it read " ... 21 miles south [sic, southwest] of the battleground ... "?

Camp Kagi, (Union), per ORsIv34/1[S#61]p110, Feb. 15, 1864: from Chickasaw Nation (Col. Wm. A. Phillips to
Winchester Colbert). Camp Kagi may have been at Robert L. Cochran’s (and wife, Jincy Bohannon, who also m-W.L.
Cochran, nephew) on Clear Boggy during Phillips' Expedition of Feb 1864.
........Camp “Kahi” was a transcription error, ORsIv34/2[S#62]p330, Feb. 14, 1864: On South Boggy, Chickasaw Nation,
21 miles south [sic, southwest] of the battleground on Middle Boggy (Col. Phillips to S.R. Curtis). Named for John
Henry Kagi (1835-1859), a follower of John Brown, killed in the 1859 raid on Harper's Ferry. It is probable that he
was a martyred hero of Col. Phillips and Willett's 14th Kansas Cavalry Battalion. (Ohio History, v34n3pp263-291
and 422-425, Jul 1925).
