Little Rock (Arkansas, United States) (search for this): chapter 2
Among the men who were attached to the battery it is impossible to say that any failed to fill the most sanguine expectations as to their courage; but among them I desire to mention Lieutenant Wilcox and Sergeant Louder-milk as displaying great coolness and bravery during the engagement. Woodruff's Pulaski battery behaved with great gallantry, and did much to win the victory. A part of the time the battery was opposed by the battery of Capt. James Totten, who had been stationed at Little Rock at the time the arsenal there was taken possession of; and in the artillery duel which ensued, First Lieut. Omer R. Weaver was struck by a shell and instantly killed. Private William Carver was also killed, and two were wounded, one of whom, W. H. Byler, afterward died. General Lyon's body was sent by General McCulloch to Springfield, where it was taken in charge by Mrs. John S. Phelps. The wagons of the Federals were busy hauling and burying their dead. In the hospitals there were

Totals, 91 killed, 317 wounded, 4 captured. Although the victory of the Confederates was decisive, and their army occupied Springfield and the battlefield, while the Federal army made an immediate retreat to Rolla and St. Louis, leaving their artillery and small-arms, with the body of their commander, in the hands of the victorious Confederates, it was seriously attempted at the North to claim it as a victory for the Federals against overwhelming numbers.

, 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 danger from the fire of the enemy, all the officers and men of the regiment behaved with great promptness and coolness in all their movements during the day. Col. Tom P. Dockery, of the Fifth regiment, said in his account of the battle: Captains Titsworth's, Dismukes', Neal's, Dowd's, Whaling's and Lawrence's companies, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Neal, were ordered to support the Third Louisiana and the Third Arkansas which had been exposed to a wasting fire from the main body of the enemy (who were posted on an eminence on the west of our encampment) from the commencement of the attack. Lieutenant-Colonel Neal moved promptly forward, and while gallantly leading the charge he fell severely wounded. I immediately took command of the battalion and led them on to the attack. I mus

ds in length, and Price guarded carefully every point of his own. Wherever the danger was greatest, and the battle most doubtful, thither would he hasten and stay until the danger was passed. In the intervals of the fighting he would rise to the front among his skirmishers, and peer into the thick smoke, until he could discern what the enemy was doing, and then his voice would ring down the line and officers and men would quickly spring forward to obey it. One of his aides, Colonel Allen of Saline, was killed while receiving an order. Weightman and Cawthorn and his adjutant were mortally wounded; Slack was fearfully lacerated by a musket ball, and Clark shot in the leg. Col. Ben Brown was killed. Churchill had two horses shot under him. Colonels Burbridge, Foster and Kelly, and nearly every other field officer, were disabled. But in spite of all these losses, Price grew stronger all the time, whilst Lyon's strength was fast wasting away. Walking along his line from left to righ

There they lay, just across the creek, not half a mile away, with nothing to do and doing nothing. Price galloped over to Gratiot during the pause in the fight, while Greer and Carroll were attempting to flank Lyon's right, and begged for assistance. Gratiot, who had served under Price in Mexico, and loved and honored him, did not hesitate an instant, but ordered his regiment to follow Price, who was hastening back to his own men, and sent an officer to tell General Pearce what he had done. Pearce came forward at once and rode with Price and Gratiot as the regiment charged up Bloody hill. Gratiot's regiment came within range of Totten's guns. The men passed safely, but the rear of the regiment was swept of its field and staff. Gratiot's horse was killed, and his orderly, too; t

The Federal troops were vastly superior in arms and ammunition.

He added a list of his forces, made up from recollection, not having returns for some time past, in consequence of the troops having been scattered around in the vicinity of Springfield, the total of which he put at 5,868 men, which exceeds Colonel Snead's estimate by 2,318.
