    13th Missouri "Wood's" Cavalry CSA
    Commonly nicknamed, "Wood's Regiment", this unit was originally designated the 14th Mo Cavalry Battalion. Later as the unit was increased to regimental size, it was re-designated as the 13th Mo Cavalry Regiment. It is also known as "Wood's Partisan Rangers", and was commanded by Col. Robert C. Wood. It served primarily as an "unattached" or independent unit, although it was assigned to Marmaduke's Cavalry Division. It saw action in the following battles: Pine Bluff, Ark. (Oct. 25, 1863), Jenkins' Ferry (April 30, 1864) and in the numerous engagements of Price's 1864 Missouri raid. The Regiment surrendered at Shreveport, LA and was paroled in June 1865. At the time of its surrender it was part of the 1st Missouri Cavalry Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division, Trans-Mississippi Department.

    Notes from D. Haley Gomez:
    Capt. L. Smigh was an officer in the 13th Missouri Cavalry, Company I, Confederate Army. He served under Col. Robert C. Wood, in Wood's Regiment or Wood's Partisan Rangers, as they were known. His unit served as the personal guard fo General Sterling Price and saw action at Pine Bluff, Ark., Jenkins' Ferry and numerous engagements under Gen. Price in MO. The regiment surrendered at the end of the war at Shreveport, Louisiana and was paroled in June, 1865.
    Famliy history says that Gen. Price and his soldiers came to Rankin's Mill during the civil War and ordered William Rankin to grind flour for his troops. They paid with Confederate dollars. I can't help wondering if Capt. Leslie Smith was in that party. If so, his son was later to marry Mr. Rankin's granddaughter and live in the Rankin house on the farm. His portrait now hangs over a roll-top desk in that house.
    Capt. Smith married first, Mary Davis and had eight children: four boys and four girls. She died in January 1886 and he then married Fannie Pope Thompson in 1887. He was appointed sheriff of Cooper County in 1878 and served a second elected term in 1884.
    He and is young family lived in the family quarters of the old jail-house.
    (see http://www.friendsofhistoricboonville.org).
    Family history tells of the day a prisoner escaped and Fannie chased him down the alley with a broom. She used to cook meals for the prisoners.
