WITH BANKS ON THE RED RIVER
CAMPAIGN.

Interesting Sketches From Comrades
Who Were at the Sabine CrossroadB,
Pleasant Hill, Mansfield and Other
Engagements.
There has been some controversy
among those who took part il, ths Red
River campaign under Banks as to cer-
tain phases of the expedition. The
following stories clear up many disput-
ed points:
The Thirteenth Corps In Advance.
]. r. Shelton, Lieutenant. Co. d. s7th
Ill. MID inf, Mount Erie. ILL.,. writes:
Concerning the Red River campaign
of 1864 some statements appear to be
fair and just, while others are mislead-
ing I was Lieutenant Of Co. d, 87th
H. Mtd Inf, and a participant in that
campaign from start to finish. Our
regiment was brigaded with the 1st La.
Cav. (CoI. Robinson). We started from
Franklin. La, on the evening of March
IS, and made a stop of few days at
Gov. Moores plantation, near Alexan-
dria. On April Z, at Wilson Hill, our
brigade became engaged with the enc
my's rear guard. Our brigade was i'm
mediately. followed, after replenishing
the ammunition, and was advanced to
picket duty during the night, the enc
my being close in front About sunrise
on the morning of the Sth a division of
the Thirteenth Corps moved on the
enemy, accompanied by battery. Soon
they became engaged Our brigade
after breakfast fell in and marched un-
til about O'Clock, when we arrived
near Sabine Crossroads and stopped
near a branch, with wagon turned
over in the ford. 1t appeared then that
all was lost. We held our position un-
til about sunset, when a brigade
checked the advance of, the enemy. 1
think the brigade was commanded by
Col Peck. The army fell back after
dark some three miles and reformed,
and soon retreated to Pleasant Hill, our
brigade getting there about sunup on
the morning of the 9th. There was
much struggling on the road during the
night. It has always been q mystery
to me regarding the conduct Of this
campaign. After the affair at Wilson
Hill on the 7th It was known by all
that the enemy In front was in force.
Gen. A. ]. Smith, with 5000 or 10.-
900 men, was stopped at Pleasant Hill.
and Gems. Franklin and Emory were in
camp about 10 miles from Sabine Cross
roads. The Thirteenth Corps (few in
number), together with the cavalry, ar
tillery and 200 wagons. were hurled
against vastly superior force on
grounds selected by the enemy, about
35 miles from their base Of supplies. In
this unfortunate encounter OUT army
lost many valuable lives and much
property"
