The Gun Boat at Yazoo City.
Might have made a mistake mentioning the name of the Gun Boat at Yazoo City,
Much bad information out there concerning the Bobb Family of Vicksburg
Do not wish to add to it,

See the "Confederate Citizens File" on the Internet.
Date September 05th, 1862
Signed - M L Smith
If cannot find it post it and i will get more information, I am not familiar with this file.

There is much confusion concerning who Martin Luther Smith in Vicksburg actually was,
He was the commander of the Confederate Army Post at Vicksburg,
Other people did many things, Pemberton and many others came and went,
But Martin Luther Smith was the Commander of the Army Post, but received very credit for his services.

Google him up.
