Anyone have any history on these two? I think that Black Bob served under Forrest for a while but have not been able to find out much more than the information below:
They were cousins with Robert A. McCulloch from Howard County, Missouri and Robert McCulloch from Cooper County. Both obtained the rank of Colonel in the Confederate army. With only an initial to tell the difference people in the county started calling them "Black-Haired" Bob and "White-Haired" Bob. Robert McCulloch was the former and Robert A. McCulloch the latter. Both organized companies in the California Gold Rush. Robert was the Colonel of the Second Missouri with a Robert A. as a Captain under him.
