We pursued them to their boats seven miles, then drove their boats before us. The road was strewn with their dead and wounded, guns, ammunition, and equipments. Our loss considerable; theirs heavy.

To the People of the Town of Houston and County of Texas, Missouri: I have this day placed upon your beautiful court house the flag of our Union. I leave it in your charge and protection.
