HISTORY OF BARTON COUNTY.
in "The Commonwealth of Missouri," " Gen. Sterling Price began to move his command from his encampment, on Cowskin Prairie, in McDonald County, toward Cassville, in Barry County, at which place it had been agreed between Gens. McCulloch, Pearce and Price, their respective commands, together with the troops under Gen. McBride, should concentrate, preparatory to a forward movement on Springfield. On the 29th the junction was effected with McCulloch and Pearce. The combined armies were then put under marching orders; the First Division, Gen. McCulloch, of Texas, commanding; the Second Division, Gen. Pearce, of Arkansas, and the Third Division, Gen. Steen, of Mis- souri, leaving Cassville on the Ist and 2d of August, taking the road leading to their objective point- Springfield. Gen. Price, of Missouri, with the greater portion of his infantry, accompanied the Second Division. A few days afterward, a regiment of Texas Rangers, under command of Col. Greer, joined the embattled hosts who were moving to attack Lyon. Brig .- Gen. James S. Rains, a well-known politician of Jasper County, Missouri, commanded the advance guard of the Southern army, his force consisting of six companies of mounted Mis- sourians. On Friday, August 2, he encamped at Dug Springs, on the Springfield road, and about five miles beyond Crane Creek, where he encountered the Union forces under Gen. Lyon, and where the battle of Dug Springs was fought. Near the close of the month of July, Gen. Lyon was informed of the concentration of the Southern troops at Cassville, and of their intention of marching upon his camp. Therefore, large as their force was in comparison with his own, he determined to go out and meet them; and, late in the afternoon of the Ist of August, his entire army (5,500 foot, 400 horse and 18 guns), led by himself, moved toward Cassville, with the exception of a small force left behind to guard the city. They bivouacked that night on Cave Creek, ten miles south of Springfield, and moved forward at an early hour in the morning, excessively annoyed by heat and dust, and intense thirst, for most of the wells and streams were dry. At Dug Springs, in Stone County, nineteen miles southwest of Springfield, they halted. They were in an oblong valley, five miles in length, and broken by projecting spurs of the hills, which formed wooded ridges. Soon after halting, they discov-

ered, by clouds of dust at the other extremity of the valley, that a large body of men were there and in motion. These were Confederates, under Gen. James S. Rains. A battle line was formed by the National troops, and in that order the little army moved forward toward the enemy, led by a company of regular infantry, under Capt. Steele, supported by another, of the Fourth Regular Cavalry, under Capt. Stanley, which held the advanced position on the left. Owing to the ridges in the valley, the real force of each party was easily concealed from the other, and afforded opportunities for surprises. And so it happened. While the vanguard of the Union troops was moving cautiously forward, followed by the main body, and skirmishers were exchanging shots briskly, a large force of Confederates suddenly emerged from the woods, to cut off Steele's infantry from Stan- ley's cavalry. The latter (about 150 strong) immediately drew up his men in proper order, and, when the foe was within the range of their Sharp's carbines, they opened a deadly fire upon them. The latter numbered nearly 500. They returned the fire, and a regular battle seemed about to open, when a subor- dinate officer in Stanley's command shouted, 'Charge!' and twenty-five horsemen dashed in among the Confederate infantry, hewing them down with their sabers. Stanley could do nothing better than sustain the irregular order; but, before he could reach them with re-enforcements, the Confederates had broken and fled in the wildest confusion. 'Are these men or devils - they fight so ?' asked some of the wounded of the vanquished, when the conflict was over. When this body of Confederate infantry fled, a large force of their cavalry appeared, emerging from the woods. Capt. Totten brought two of his guns to bear upon them from a commanding eminence, with such precision that his shells fell among and scattered them in great disorder, for their frightened horses became unmanageable. The whole column of the Confederates now withdrew, leaving the valley in possession of the National troops. Thus ended the battle of Dug Springs. Lyon's loss was eight men killed and thirty wounded; and that of the Confederates was about forty killed and as many wounded. Pursuit was instituted the next morning, but none of Rains' force was found." At the battle of Wilson's Creek (August 10, 1861),

Gen. Rains' division was in the hottest of the fight. It was com- posed of two brigades. The first, under Col. Weightman, em- braced infantry and artillery, 1, 306 strong, and lost, not only its commander, but thirty-four others killed and III wounded. The Second Brigade, mounted men, Col. Cawthon (of Cedar County) commanding (including men from Barton County), about 1,200 strong, lost twenty-one killed and seventy-five wounded. Maj. Charles Rogers, of St. Louis, adjutant of the brigade, was mortally wounded and died on the same day. In all subsequent engagements of this command the Barton Counti- ans participated, and some of them died for the cause they espoused. On the Unionist side, quite a number of citizens of the county were attached to different commands, and saw gory service on various fields.
After the War .- The hostility which existed between Unionists and Confederates for some time after peace was declared, had its animus in personal grudges and in unlawful greed, and, having expended its force and run its brief natural career, it subsided gradually and completely; and to-day the citizens of Barton know neither North nor South, but join hands in the support of the Union of the States and the advancement of the interests of Southwest Missouri in general, and their own favored county in particular.
Record of Enlistments, Service and Discharges .- From. Grand Army of the Republic records and other sources, the writer has been enabled to compile the following record (in whole or in part) of the enlistment, service and final discharge of several hundred men who have been residents of Barton County, either prior or since the war, or both, and who espoused the Union cause in the struggle of the States. It is to be regretted that the absence of data prevents the presentation of a like record of men who risked their life for the Confederacy.
