Brown, with his Missouri militia, met them
and gave battle, Oct IL. He fought till dark
and again attacked on the morning OF the
18th. Then the Confederates broke and 1lec.
and Gen Brown pursued them to the Arkan-
sas line.
After that he was constantly engaged IN
directing the movements OF the MISSOURI
home guards and watching Missouri's long
drawn out border. Sometimes the Con
federates entered the unhappy state from
Arkansas, sometimes from Indian Territory.
The latter part OF September, 1864, Gen.
Sterling Price rode into Missouri from Ar
kansas at the head Of over $1,000 mounted
men Where would he strike? Missouri was
full of food and depots of government sup
plies. 1t became evident that one of Gen.
Prices objective points was Jefferson City,
the capital.
Once more Gen. Egbert B. Brown sum-
moned his tried Missouri militia, concen-
trated it at the capital and held it till Fed
eral re-enforcements could reach him and
save the state archives and buildings. In
one of the many fights in which he was en-
gagged Gen. Brown was wounded and lost
the use of his arm.
There was a Federal hospital at Spring
field, Mo-, and the fact that the place was,
besides, plentifully provided with both the
provisions and the munitions of war, was
well Known to the ConfederateS.

speedily becoming major general. After
the war, he engaged in the peaceful pursuits
of trade in st. Louis. He for a time was
editor OF a journal of agriculture. In 1884
he was elected governor of Missouri
Tho most desperate of the fighting in
Missouri was done in the southwestern part
Of the state. In the heart of the contested
district was the town of Springfield, ON Will
sons creek, 100 miles southwest of st. Louis
.It is q fourishing town now, of some 10000
inhabitants. The Atlantic and Pacific rail-
road passes through it.
But during the war it was never at peace.
It's hapless inhabitants did not know ona
week whether men in blue or gray would be
luartered ON it the next week. Occupied
now by Confederate, now by Union forces, it
mad experience of war lasting and bitter.
At the beginning of 1868, Brig. Gen. e. B.
Brown, of the Missouri militia, was stationed
at Springfield. The town was full of Federal
supplies, and therefore constituted a rich
prize for him who could capture it, At the
beginning of the war Gen Brown was lieu.

Gen. Egbert B. Brown was one of Mis-
souri's bravest and most useful defenders.
His fighting history was made chiefly in his
own state, but there was enough Of it to
make q long story, He was occupied all of
the year 1865 in defending the state from
Confederate raids. Now here, now there, he
moved with great rapidity, and seemed al
most able to be in two places at the same
time. Jan. s, 1868, he drove Marmaduke
back from Springfield, Mo.
In the autumn of that year the Confederate

FIGHT AT SPRINGFIELD.

At the very beginning of the year 1868
Gen. John S. Marmaduke, with 4, 900 follow
ers. rode over the border from Arkansas
with the intention of capturing Springfield
The town was only lightly defended. Gen.
Brown had caused his Missourians to throw
up some slight earthworks. He had ONLY
1000 men with him.
In the army hospital were several hun
dred soldiers. Three hundred were conva-
lescent. They were well enough to aid at a
pinch in defending the town. Accordingly
they were mustered INTO service, under Col
B. Crabb. These convalescents were known
in the fight as the ''Quinine brigade" Num-
bers of citizens of Springfield volunteered
their services to aid the defense. With this
strange collection-militia, sick soldiers and
citizens aided by $50 men of the 11Sth Iowa
regiment-Gen. Brown awaited the attack of
Marmaduke.
/ 1t came on tho Sth of January, 'St. Jack
sons day." the forty-eighth anniversary Of
The battle of New Orleans
Gen Marmaduke hoped for much by tho
capture of Springfield. He made a detour
far eastward to avoid the main Federal army
under Gen Blunt He believed he could sur
prise the feeble force at Springfield, destroy
the supplies there, and thus force the Federal
army of the frontier, already advancing into
Arkansas, to fall backward for want of sup
plies
little after noon of Jan. 8, 1858, 5000 of
Marmaduke's men suddenly appeared before
Springfield and began firing solid shot into it.
They had not observed the usual formality of
giving notice to non-combatants to withdraw.
Gen Brown had used what means he could
to prepare for them. He had heard before
hand that Marmaduke had burned Lawrence
Mills, had marched on Ozark Jan. 7, and
would surely be at Springfield Jan. 8. Ac-
cordingly Brown had the army supplies
moved out of Springfield on the road to
Bolivar, in the greatest haste, keeping only
enough to provide the town in case of siege.
This was placed securely in one of the forts,
and Brown awaited attack with his "Quinine
brigade" his civilians and home guards
Firing became hotter and hotter Browns
forces replied with an energy and courage
that increased under fire. At first the Con-
federates gained advantage, then the FEEDER
ais, then the Confederates again.
At length Browns men were able to dis
lodge their enemy from position after posi-
ton. Dark ended the fight. When the
"Quinine brigade" prepared to renew it next
morning they found that the Confederates
had reiterated during the night. The men
who were strong enough to stand still and
fight half day were not, however, strong
enough to go after Marmaduke's men, and
no pursuit was attempted. So ended the
fight at Springfield, Mo-, Jan. S, 1868.
