Sometimes Jenkins' Ferry is misspelled causing difficulty when doing research. So I have added some text to include the other spelling such as Jenkin's, which is wrong because the owner of the Ferry was named Jenkins. Therefore the possessive of the name has the apostrophe after the s. Some people look for Jenkin and the Ferry which is also spelled wrong. With these extra spellings I hope I have helped you find the information that you are looking for about Arkansas battles during the Civil War. |
