Comte de Paris, History of the Civil War in America. Vol. 2. (ed. Henry Coppee , LL.D.), Book IV:—Kentucky (search)
The northern part of the State, situated on the left side of the Missouri, was subjected to fire and the sword in the latter half of July. Five thousand partisans, under Porter, Poindexter and Cobb, were ravaging the whole of that region. Colonel Merrill was sent to fight them, and he displayed in that difficult conjuncture those rare qualities which subsequently established his reputation as a cavalry officer. Colonel McNeil, one of Merrill's lieutenants, after chasing Porter's troops for Merrill's lieutenants, after chasing Porter's troops for twelve successive days, overtook them at last at Kirksville, in Adair county. Although the Confederates were three thousand strong, and McNeil had only one thousand horse, the victory rested with him. Porter's band was almost annihilated; Poindexter, who was farther west, endeavored to join him, or at least to rally the remnant of his command, but was unable to cross the Chariton River, and the Missouri militia chased him with that sanguinary ardor which animates combatants in all civil wars.
