Outstanding digging Hugh!! Appears Tobe may have had a talent for weaving an interesting adventure or two. His later account of his mother pleading for his life with President Lincoln does seem a little unusual now..But he does know just enough to make it interesting..perhaps from newspapers or his returned comrades or who knows we wern't there...I will poke around in Waxahachie awhile and see if Tobe left any other interesting adventures.

Certainly post war accounts must be viewed with reservations...
