report of Lieutenant-Colonel W. R. Scurry, commanding Fourth regiment Texas mounted volunteers.
Val Verde, New Mexico, February 22, 1862. H. M. Jackson, A. A. G. Army New Mexico:
Major: Early on the morning of yesterday, while the army was encamped on the east side of the Rio Grande, opposite Fort Craig, I received orders to march with my command (Fourth regiment T. M. V.) and take possession at as early an hour as practicable of so ction.
It is due to the adjutant of this regiment, Ellsbury R. Lane, that I should not close this report without stating that he was actively and bravely engaged in the discharge of his duties on horseback until his horse failed, when, taking a gun, he entered the ranks of Captain Hampton's company and did duty as a private during the remainder of the day.
I have the honor to be,
Very respectfully, your obed't serv't, W. R. Scurry, Lieutenant-Colonel Commanding Fourth Regiment T. M. V.
