I am doing some research on my GGGrandfather Columbus H. Acuff. He was in Company I, 9
(Elliott's) Missouri Calvary. Columbus surrendered in June 1865 and was parolled in
Shreveport, LA. On June 9, 1865 he was on the SS Kentucky on the Red river below
Shreveport when it sank on it's way to Baton Rouge to take the oath of the Government.
He did live and eventually made it back to Missouri, but I would like to find out if he
ever made it to Baton Rouge. Is there any way to find this out.
