wonderful escape from death. Capt "Tom" McAlister, who also resides in Memphis, returned with his squad, and Col. Moore then moved out with a larger force to attack the enemy, but found he had fled. It is claimed that Col. Mccullough, the rebel commander, had about 350 men with him on this occasion, nearly all of whom lived in Schuyler and Putnam Counties, and that very few of them were of Scotland County. Soon after this Capt. McCullough was killed in a skirmish near Lancaster, and the cartridge box and belt that he had taken from Justice, were found upon his body. Capt. McAlister still carries a ball in his leg as a reminder of the enemy who lodged it there on that memorable 27th of October, 1861.
BATTLE OF VASSAR HILL.
This battle was fought near the Middle Fabius, on the road leading from Memphis to Kirksville, and at a point about one and a half miles northeast of the village of Bible Grove in Scot- land County, on the 18th of July, 1862, between a battalion of the Merrill Horse and a battalion of the Eleventh Cavalry Mis- souri State Militia, of the Union Army, commanded by Maj. Clopper, and a Confederate force commanded by Col. Joe Porter. The following report of the commanding officer of the Union forces, will best describe the conflict:
CAMP NEAR PIERCE'S MILL, July 19, 1862.
Sir :- I beg leave to report that I, yesterday, encountered Porter's forces, conjoined with Dunn's, at 12 M., and fought and routed them after a desperate and severe fight of three hours. They had an ambush well planned, and drew my advance guard into it, in which my men suffered severely. My killed and wounded amounted to eighty-three men, forty-five of whom belonged to my bat- talion; the balance, thirty-eight, to Maj. Roger's battalion, of the Eleventh Cav- alry, Missouri State Militia. Among the wounded of my officers are Capt. Har- ker, slightly, Lieut. Gregory, Lieut. Potter and Lieut. Robinson. I can not find adequate terms to express the heroic manner in which my command stood the galling and destructive fire poured upon them by the concealed assassins. I have not time to make an official or detailed report of the action; will do so upon the first favorable opportunity. Col. McNeil joined me last night with sixty-seven men. The enemy's force is variously estimated at from 400 to 700. I have now halted for the purpose of burying the dead, and taking care of the sick. Will pursue the enemy at 11 A. M. to-day. They are whipped and in full flight. The forced marches I have been compelled to make, and the bad condition of the roads, and the constant rainy weather have had the effect of exhausting my men and horses. The enemy were well concealed in dense underbrush, and I

must give them credit for fighting well. They will not meet me on fair ground.
Very respectfully your obedient servant,
JOHN Y. CLOPPER,
Major Commanding Battalion Merrill Horse.

Colonel Commanding St. Louis Division.
St. Louis, Missouri.
In this engagement there were eighteen Union soldiers killed outright, and five died within a few days from the effects of their wounds, making twenty-three in all, and all these were buried on the Maggard place, near where they fell. Some of them were disinterred, and moved away by their friends, and the balance, thirteen in number, were afterward taken up by order of the Government, and interred in the National Cemetery at Keokuk, Iowa. The loss of the enemy was two men killed-one being Frank Peak, and. the other a man by the name of Sparks and Capt. Tracy, who died at Bible Grove the second day after the fight. The enemy's wounded were taken away, and their num- ber is not known. The Confederate loss was small, as they fought on the defensive from a concealed position, and fled as soon as they were likely to be driven out into an open field fight. The discrepancy between the estimates of the strength of Porter's forces, as made by the neighbors in the vicinity of the fight, is somewhat amusing. The estimate of the Union sympathizers is that given in the foregoing report, while the friends of Porter estimate his strength at less than 150 men. But the writer is satisfied that the persons making this low estimate, did not see Dunn's command at all. The Unionists lost thirteen horses killed, and a few others that were wounded and ran away, while the rebels had only two horses killed. William Purvis, who removed the dead horses from the field the day after the battle, relates that thirteen days after the fight, he found a horse belonging to one of the Union soldiers, in a deep ravine near by. The horse was reined up and was " as poor as a skeleton," having had noth- ing on which to subsist during that time, but the leaves of the trees and the moisture thereon caused by the dews. He took the horse to Memphis, and letters which he found in the saddle bags enabled him to find the owner who was among the wounded, then in the hospital at that place.

LOCAL INCIDENTS.
Dr. William Aylward lived about nine miles northeast of Memphis, and was farming and selling goods when the war broke out. He was assistant surgeon of Col. Moore's command while it lay at Athens, in Clark County, and at other points in 1861. He afterward moved to Memphis, and began the business of keep- ing a hotel. He was a stanch Union man, and a great hater of those who sympathized with the Southern cause. He was also a politician who was very outspoken, and even abusive in express- ing his sentiments, and was extremely excitable. He was charged by his enemies with cruelly mistreating some prisoners which Col. McNeil's forces had captured in a skirmish near Downing, in Schuyler County. On the Sunday previous to the fight near Pierce's Mill Col. Porter marched into Memphis with two or three hundred men, and occupied the place over night. He then arrested Dr. Aylward, and taking him along, moved, with his command, to the residence of Capt. William Dawson, about three miles northwest of town, for the purpose of arresting him also. Dawson showed fight, and they shot and wounded him slightly, and then arrested him and took him along. They con- veyed their prisoners to the farm of Henry Downing, about eight miles west of Memphis, and there went into camp for the night. That night Dr. Aylward was killed, and left lying in a field or lot, where his body was found the next day after Porter had moved his force away. The enemy retained Capt. Dawson until the night after his defeat near Pierce's Mill, on July 18, 1862, and then put him back across a branch of the Fabius and set him at liberty.
During the expedition of Col. John McNeil, which resulted in the battle of Kirksville and the capture of that place, a detach- ment of his forces under command of Maj. F. Benjamin, of the Eleventh Regiment Missouri Cavalry Militia, made a scout through a portion of Scotland County. The Major says, in his report to Col. McNeil, that in obedience to orders he started at 4 o'clock on the morning of the 5th of August, in pursuit of Porter, and soon struck his trail in the Fabius bottom, near Clapp's Ford, and followed it with all possible speed until he reached the Middle Fabius, ten miles south of Memphis, where

he found that Porter had crossed but a short time before, and had destroyed the bridge and felled trees across the ford to inter- cept his pursuit. Another ford was soon found for the crossing of the horses, and a temporary structure was hastily made of the remains of the bridge, over which the artillery and ammunition wagons were passed by hand, and the pursuit continued without halting until 10 o'clock P. M. He then went into camp for the night on the place where the pioneer, Jesse Stice, had settled twenty-eight years before. This place is about half a mile south of Bible Grove, and is the same spot where Porter had intended to camp over night, but, being so closely pursued, had moved on. Some of the Southern sympathizers knew of Porter's inten- tion to camp at that place, and two of them, Thomas Bonner and his son, John, living about one and a half miles west of Bible Grove, both of whom had been in the Confederate Army the year before, but were then residing at home, the father at least, if not also the son, being then under an oath of allegiance to the United States, concluded that they would re-enter the service, and went into this camp during the night for this purpose, but instead of finding themselves in Porter's camp, they found themselves cap- tives in the hands of Union soldiers, and the next morning they were shot.
At 4 o'clock next morning, August 6, the Union soldiers "mounted horse" without breakfast, and renewed their pursuit of Porter, who fled to Kirksville, where he made a stand. Here McNeil's forces, including Maj. Benjamin's command, con- centrated, and before noon opened up the battle which resulted in the defeat and complete rout of Porter's forces, and the Fed- eral'occupation of Kirksville. The forces that had made the scout through Scotland County reached Kirksville at about 11 o'clock A. M., and at once entered the engagement, and con- tinued fighting until the rebels made their final retreat, at about 5 P. M. Porter was on a recruiting expedition, and, while he had a much larger force than his assailants, many of his men were only armed with shotguns, and some of them not at all armed. Col. John McNeil, in his report of the battle of Kirks- ville, says: "Finding that fifteen of the persons captured had been prisoners before, and upon their own admission had been
523
STATE OF MISSOURI.
discharged on their solemn oath and parole of honor not again to take up arms against their country under penalty of death, I enforced the penalty of the bond by ordering them shot. Most of these guerrillas have certificates of parole from some provost- marshal or post commandant with them for use at any time they may be out of camp. These paltering tokens of pocket loyalty were found on the persons of nearly all the men so executed. Disposed that an evidence of clemency and mercy of the country toward the erring and misguided should go hand in hand with unrelenting justice, I discharged on parole all the prisoners who had not violated parole, and who were in arms for the first time against their country and Government."
The conduct of Col. McNeil in executing those prisoners caused greatindignation among the people, especially with those whose sympathies were against the Government. Whether it was right or wrong to mete out such "unrelenting justice," it is true that the battle of Kirksville had the effect to so de- moralize the enemy as to effectually put a stop to further recruiting for the Confederate Army in Northern Missouri.
SEVENTH REGIMENT CAVALRY, MISSOURI VOLUNTEERS.
In the summer of 1861 a battalion, known as the Black Hawk Cavalry, was recruited and organized in Northeastern Missouri, Southeastern Iowa, and that portion of Illinois adjoining on the opposite side of the river. Though the greater portion of this command was made up from Northeastern Missouri it rendezvoused for convenience at Warsaw, Ill. In September, 1861, its organ- ization was completed, and it was mustered into the United States service for three years, at Alexandria, in Missouri. The follow- ing month it was ordered to Macon, Mo., and in February, 1862, it was consolidated with other commands, in obedience to the fol- lowing orders:

BATTLE OF LONE JACK.
Thus organized the regiment went first to Booneville, from which place it operated for some time, and then went to Lexing- ton, Mo., and made that place its base of operations. On the 15th of August, 1862, a command "consisting of detachments from five companies of the Seventh Cavalry, Missouri Volunteers; three companies of the Sixth Cavalry, Missouri State Militia; two companies of the Eighth Cavalry, Missouri State Militia, and three companies of the Second Battalion of Cavalry, Missouri State Militia, together with a section of two pieces of the Third Indiana Battery, in all 806 men," under the command of Maj. E. S. Foster, of the Seventh Regiment of Cavalry, M. S. M., marched to Lone Jack, thirty-two miles southwest of Lexington, arriving there about 9 o'clock, same evening, and after having a slight skirmish with a rebel force under Col. Coffee, in which the latter was repulsed, the command went into camp for the night. On the morning of the 16th they were attacked by an entirely different force, commanded by Cockrell, Thompson, Hays, Quan- trell, and others, numbering about 3,200, who had been encamped about nine miles northwest of Lone Jack. Then a desperate battle ensued, in which the two-gun battery, supported by Com- pany A, Seventh Cavalry, Missouri Volunteers, played a con- spicuous part, being twice taken by the enemy, and twice retaken. Two-thirds of the detachment supporting the battery, and twenty- four of the thirty-six men belonging to it were reported among the killed and wounded. During one of the charges to recapture the battery, Maj. Foster was wounded, and the command de- volved upon H. M. Brawner, captain of Company A, Seventh Cavalry, Missouri Volunteers. The struggle was continued for nearly five hours, during which time the Federal troops fought gallantly against vastly superior numbers, as well as a better position on their part. Nearly all the officers of the command were either killed or wounded. The enemy was finally driven from his position, and the field held by the Union troops.
At this juncture the force under Col. Coffee, which had been repulsed the evening before, appeared on the left of the small and much fatigued command of Union troops, with the evident design of surrounding them and cutting off their retreat. Seeing
526

this, and knowing the exhausted condition of his men, and being nearly out of ammunition, the commander withdrew, and marched back to Lexington in good order, unmolested by the enemy. They were forced, however, to abandon their battery, as the horses hauling it had been killed. During the action, and after the last recapture of the battery, the gallantry of the gunners was con- spicuously displayed, they being compelled to handle the guns entirely without horses. The loss of this gallant command was killed, 43; wounded, 154; missing, 75; total, 272. The enemy acknowledged a loss of 118 killed. The number of their wounded was not ascertained, but was supposed to have been cor- respondingly large. Capt. M. H. Brawner, in his official report of the battle, says: "I take great pleasure in mentioning the courage and good conduct displayed by the men of the command. Among those deserving special mention for gallant conduct were Capt. H. P. Spellman, First Lieut. Charles R. Combs, and Orderly Sergt. John P. Anderson, Company C .; Lieut. Robert D. Ander- son, Company A .; Lieut. Samuel M. Baker, Company I, and Lieut. John Schee, of Company E, Seventh Cavalry, Missouri Volunteers, and Capt. William W. Owens and the officers and men of the Eighth Cavalry Missouri State Militia; Asst. Surg. W. H. H. Cundiff, Second Battalion Cavalry Missouri State Militia, also deserves special mention for gallant conduct and faithful performance of his duty while on the field. Sergt. J. C. Updegraff, of the Third Indiana Battery, displayed great gal- lantry and good conduct."
Capt. Charles R. Combs, now of Memphis, Mo., went into this engagement with sixty men, and came out of it with only twenty, the balance being among the killed and wounded.
OTHER ENGAGEMENTS.
After remaining a while longer at Lexington, the regiment went to Sedalia, and thence to Springfield, arriving at the latter place in the fall of 1862. From there it moved to Arkansas, and participated in the battle of Prairie Grove. Being in the advance, it made the first attack, and brought on the battle, and was in the hottest of the engagement, and besides its heavy losses in killed and wounded it had the misfortune to lose about 150 men by capture.
527
STATE OF MISSOURI.
After this encounter the regiment returned to Springfield, and from thence to Raleigh, Mo., thence to Pilot Knob and Ironton, * Mo., where it remained for a long time, drilling, and scouting through the country to keep watch of the movements of the enemy. In the summer of 1863 it went to Cape Girardeau to assist Mc- Neil in the defense of that place, and then returned to Pilot Knob and Ironton, where it was formed into a brigade known as David- son's brigade, which consisted of ten regiments. Afterward it went to Arkansas, and assisted in the capture of Little Rock, and re- mained there during the winter of 1863-64, and then went to Pine Bluff, where it remained under the command of Maj. Brawner until after the close of the war, and until January 1, 1865. During the fall of 1864 all the men of the original regiment who did not re-enlist were mustered out by reason of the expiration of their term of enlistment, and thus the regiment became so depleted in ranks that it was consolidated with the First Cavalry, which was likewise depleted, and thus the Seventh Missouri Cavalry Volunteers in name became extinct. This regiment did a great deal of hard work in making forced marches, and was in many conflicts with the enemy, the details of which would fill a volume, and is therefore beyond the scope of this work.
In the formation of this regiment Companies C, D and E were organized in Clark County, but were composed partially of men from Scotland, Lewis and Knox Counties. Company A was raised in and about Milton, Iowa, and Companies B, F and G were raised in Illinois, and all the balance of the companies were raised in Macon and other counties of Missouri. Thus it is seen that four companies of this regiment came from other States. The following is the roster of the officers of the regimental staff and of the companies organized in the territory of which this volume is the history. This roster shows the date of muster, rank, when promoted, and date of death, resignation and muster out:
Col. D. Huston, Jr., Feb. 19, 1862, mustered out expiration of term, Dec. 30, 1864.
