ry important services which you and your fine regiment of mounted riflemen have rendered during the campaign in this State, and to particularly acknowledge, in the most grateful manner, the eager bravery with which your men met the enemy on the 10th inst., the constancy with which they fought, and the spirit with which they rushed upon and drove back his disciplined, soldiers. Your own gallantry and skill were so conspicuous on that memorable day that every Missourian will always cherish the reof the officers and men throughout was so universally gallant and courageous that it is hard to make personal distinctions. The report of Col. J. D. Walker speaks for the Fourth Arkansas infantry: The Fourth regiment, on the morning of the 10th, was placed under the command of Adjutant-General Rector, who remained in command during the day. This regiment was not brought into immediate action, being stationed upon the hill for the protection of Reid's battery, and although exposed to dan

commands. In endeavoring to give an adequate account of the famous battle of Wilson's Creek or Oak Hills, August 10, 1861, it will be interesting to present a view of the situation from the opposing side, as well as from our own, bearing in mind that either party very naturally gives to his own side the most favorable aspect which it will bear. The report of Maj. J. M. Schofield, as assistant adjutant-general, army of the West, was as follows: During the forenoon of that day, the 9th of August, General Lyon and Colonel Sigel held a consultation, the result of which was the plan of attack upon the enemy's position at Wilson's creek, which led to the battle of the 10th. I was not present at the conference, having spent the morning in going the rounds of the camp to see if any improvements could be made in our dispositions for defense, thinking all intention of making an attack had been abandoned. Upon my return, General Lyon informed me of his intention to make the attack the

the road, and nearest to Springfield. Down the creek from Rains to Churchill and Greer the distance was three miles. As has been stated, the Confederate forces were in bivouac awaiting their postponed order to march on Springfield. At daylight no pickets were out, or those put out had been drawn in, expecting to march. The Confederates were taken by surprise, few having arisen, when Totten's battery opened upon them from the north, and Sigel's from the south, at dawn Sunday morning, August 10th. The entire Southern army lay between Lyon and Sigel. Sigel had surrounded the camp in the night and stationed four pieces of artillery overlooking Churchill's camp from the east side of the creek. Leaving a small infantry force to support the battery, he then crossed Wilson's creek, below Tyrrell's creek, with the rest of his men formed facing north, on the west of the creek. General Rains' Missourians at the north end of the camp were quickly dispersed by Lyon's column, leaving an o

Captains Pearson and Gibbs and Lieutenants Saddler, Wair and Head were slightly wounded. I lost in the engagement, 42 killed and 155 wounded. Adjutant-General Snead, in the name of General Price, returned to Colonel Churchill the following graceful tribute: Headquarters Missouri State Guard, Springfield, August 5, 186. Colonel: I am directed by Major-General Price to thank you in the name of this army and of the State of Missouri for the very important services which you and your fine regiment of mounted riflemen have rendered during the campaign in this State, and to particularly acknowledge, in the most grateful manner, the eager bravery with which your men met the enemy on the 10th inst., the constancy with which they fought, and the spirit with which they rushed upon and drove back his discipli

enders of the lovely South. Early in the action Captain Jefferson was sent to reconnoiter the enemy and was taken prisoner and is still in their hands. I respectfully call the attention of the general to the praiseworthy conduct of Colonels Gratiot, Carroll and Dockery; also to Lieutenant-Colonels Neal and Provence, the former of whom was badly wounded, and the latter continually in the midst of the battle; also to Majors Ward and Featherston. Governor Churchill's account, published August, 1897, further indicates the part Arkansas took in the Battle among the Ozarks. He wrote: My regiment was 400 to 500 strong; at least, that was about the number I took into action. In conversation with General Price he told me that my regiment undoubtedly saved the battle. Coming to his assistance at the time I did, when he had been forced back by superior numbers, gave his men renewed courage and him time to reform his line and fill up his broken ranks. This movement on my part preven
