I would be surprised if some of the marshall's didn't wrack up those kinds of numbers, though they may not have counted them. Judge Parker was "the hanging judge" who was allowed to impose his harsh version of the law at Fort Smith because the war left a virtual chaos in the Indian Territory. Federal officials regularly went out into the territory and functioned with very little concern that anybody would restrict their activities.... Btw, there were Texas units in the Army of Northern Virginia and Edmund Kirby-Smith was out there before getting transferred to west. Shreveport was his headquarters from that point. Getting sent from Virginia to Texas was a bit like drawing Northern Ireland as an assignment, I suspect... This was true on both sides, of course...
