I did not know that. Wow.
Yep if you are captured you were released if you promise not to take part in the conflict any further and if you did rejoin the conflict if you were captured you were just immediately hung.
So quite a few of these individuals headed to Idaho and got into the 1862 Gold Rush North of Boise Idaho.
