Statistics for occurrence #1 of “St. Louis” in chapter 4 of An English Combatant, Lieutenant of Artillery of the Field Staff., Battlefields of the South from Bull Run to Fredericksburgh; with sketches of Confederate commanders, and gossip of the camps.:
...ate.
These are not Missourians, but a mixed crowd of Germans and others who have volunteered from every State, under German leaders.
