remounted and were followed by the
Indians. The pony was soon overtaken,
and they rode on in company for a

In recent issue of The National
Tribune 1 read the statement of a COM
rade who took part in the battle of
Mansfield or Sabine Crossroads, and I
wondered where his cavalry company
was during the awful time of retreat.
Five companies of the 18th Wis were
placed in the rear guard, and I, as Cor
poral, with two comrades, had charge
of the only two prisoners captured that
day BY Gen. Emory'a Division of the
Nineteenth Corps. The rebel forces did
not disturb the rear guard during the
night march to Pleasant Hill, 18 miles
from the battle-ground, and their scouts
did not begin skirmishins before 8
o'clock the next morning. The five
companies of the 29th Wis. I belonged
to were our rear guard Of the Thir-
tsenth Corps during the march from
Pleasant Hill to Mansfield, and only
took part in the battle by stopping
stragglers from the battle. The other
i've companies were severely handled
by the Confederstes during the battle
and lost heavily. When we reached
Pleasant Hill after a hurried breakfast
my five companies were ordered 20
