One hundred fifty years ago, on September 7, 1864, Confederate Gen. J.O. Shelby consolidates his forces: HDQRS. CONFEDERATE FORCES IN NORTH. ARKANSAS, September 7, 1864. Col. A. S. DOBBIN, Commanding Brigade: COLONEL: You can move to-morrow morning or the next day up Black River, on the east side, to either Powhatan or Pocahontas. Leave a sufficient outlying picket, under a good and trusty officer, at Jacksonport, to report to you everything done by the enemy. Call an all your details, detachments, and pickets, and get all your men together that is possible. General Price has ordered me to move up about Pocahontas with my entire command, and my headquarters will be to-morrow night at Smithville. Very truly, yours, JO. O. SHELBY, Brigadier-General, Commanding.
