from every part of the State. In this he was very successful, organizing one of the largest cavalry brigades west of the Mississippi, which he thereafter commanded in more than twenty battles. He took a prominent part in the engagements at Poison Spring and Marks' Mills, in April, 1864, commanding two brigades of Fagan's division. In his report of the campaign ending at Jenkins' Ferry, General Marmaduke wrote that, To speak of the quick perception and foresight or the reckless bravery of Shelby, the élan and chivalrous bearing of Cabell, inspiring all who looked upon him, or the perseverance, untiring energy and steady courage of Greene, would be telling a twice-told tale. During the raid into Missouri under General Price he was captured in battle near the Little Osage river, October 25, 1864, and was taken to Johnson's island, Lake Erie, and later to Fort Warren, near Boston, and held until August 28, 1865.

on has returned. Where are you living now? My mother writes that Maury Boswell has returned. Tom is with me, and doing well. Colonel Frank Mitchell is up about San Luis Potosi; has rented a large hacienda, and is planting cotton largely. But that is no such country as this. Slayback and General Price are here; in all, about one hundred Confederates, who intend settling. Dr.Terry is here, Dick Collins, Charley Jones, Bill Fell. A great many, who have become discouraged, out of money and away from their loved ones, have returned. Many come back. Tobacco can be made very profitable here. It grows as well here, General Price says, as he ever saw it in Missouri or Virginia. Under the decree of the Emperor you can make contracts in the United States with your negroes for ten years, and it will be binding here; the negro will have to stick; so any person coming here can bring their servants if they can get them to come. I remain yours, affectionately, Jo. O. Shelby.
