after describing the preliminary operations, said: While still hesitating in the morning, the enemy were reported advancing and I made arrangements to meet them. The attack was made simultaneously at 5:30 a. m. on our right and left flanks, and the enemy gained the positions they desired.

The Missourians, under Generals Slack, Clark, McBride, Parsons and Rains, were nearest the position taken by General Lyon with his main force.

Buford's regiment of Texas cavalry and Etter's Arkansas battery were ordered to Elkhorn to report to General Rains.
