Judge Nelson Case's book; "History of Labette County, Kansas and its Representative Citizens", 1901, ed. & comp. Pub. by Biographical Publishing Co., Chicago, Ill, <http://skyways.lib.ks.us/genweb/archives/labette/1901/toc.shtml> biography of John Andrew FLORA says,to wit:

"Mr. Flora enlisted in Company C, 6th Reg., Ohio Vol. Cav., and was transferred to Leavenworth, Kansas, where he was assigned to special scout duty. Mr. Flora served as a scout in Colorado, the Indian Territory, Kansas and Nebraska during the war, and took part in many skirmishes with the Indians. He did valuable service, and was mustered out in 1865."
