THANKS BRUCE.. i have seen many books that state that he was wounded again some months after the amputation (one account is "the devil knows how to ride") and decided to give up "bushwacking" and left the region.. then in some other books, it states that taylor came back to missouri in '65 with jame's and poole ect.. that is why i am a little confused.. i also can not find any accounts of what taylor might have done or might have gone after the second wound.. just a little confusing..
