Matt, do you mind sharing your impressions/thoughts on Maj. Wyllis Ransom the Kansan who commanded at Westport and who made several raids into Jackson County, Mo, with, on a couple of occasions, the Redlegs in tow? Did he have authorization from higher authorities to allow the Redlegs to accompany him? Why did he feel it safe in mentioning them in his official report of the raid in March/April 1863?

Thank you, Tom Jones
