Correct name of battle is Jenkins' Ferry
The correct name for this battle is Jenkins' Ferry. See citations in the article and the following. I have asked editor who changed this to revert it. (My reversion did not work on title of article.)

 * Moved the page and talk page since "undo" reversion did not work. I also made changes to correct name within the article. I hope the editor who made these changes to this article and others will make the necessary reversions in those articles and templates. I went ahead with moving this article since I had contributed to it earlier. Donner60 (talk) 01:13, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
