TIE PEA RIDGE BATTLE PfEI D-A letter
! writer who visited the Pea Ridge battle
ground, few days after the fight says -
| The tremendous effect of shot and shell
among the trees, the rows of fresh graves
where the dead soldiers were buried and tho
intOlecabc stencil arising from the decaying
carcasscs of scores of dead horses and mules,
| must confess, had tendency to take out
some Of the poetry and romance OF war from
me- and picture rather wildly the PROSE- OF
this SC urge. In one place our men SAW about
one hundred cold CherOkee IndlInS, whose
carcasses are respected no more than so many
mules They came into the battle with one
side of their faces painted black and the
other red, signifying that they would give
no quarter. But they were of no account,
as Il shell thrown near them would put them
to rout in no time.
