195.-fight at Merrill's crossing, Mo.
Official report of General Brown.
Headquarters in the field, Marshall, Mo., October 13, 1863.
General: I have the honor to report that, after following the enemy through Cole Camp, Syracuse, and Boonville, skirmishing with his rear all the distance, he was forced to make a stand at Merrill's Crossing of Salt Fork, a point eight miles south-west of Arrow Rock, and about the same distance from Marshall, and commenced a skirmishing fight at ntary on their gallantry and endurance.
For the past three days they have followed and engaged the enemy night and day in the rain without subsistence, except that gathered by the wayside, or protection from the storm.
The enemy numbered nearly two thousand men. My own force was about one thousand six hundred.
I am, very truly, your obedient servant, E. B. Brown, Brigadier-General Volunteers, Commanding. To Major-General J. M. Schofield, Commanding Department of the Missouri, St. Louis.
