Thanks for the reply
No relation the the Presidential Harrisons, but my Great Grandfather rode with Sterling Price. He had a brigade of the 2nd Arkansas Cavalry and was brevetted to Brigadier General during the Battle of Westport in Kansas City. After the war he went to Washington and served three terms in Congress. After he came home they wanted him to run for Governor but he said "there aint nothing but crooks and scoundrels in that Governor's mansion and I don't want any part of it"
so he spent the rest of his years as a Federal Judge.
By the way, I have had a number of Irish Setters, field dogs and love them. Now I have a Catahoula Leopard Dog, a spoiled rotten rescue who loves the farm and riding with me.

One great grandfather was an officer in the 5th Arkansas Mounted infantry. I always wondered what the heck mounted infantry was?
