serted that about fifty Of the dragons
had participated In three assaults.
Captain Naughton himself was wound
ed IN the beginning Of the action. At
any rntc, II Is certain that the Union
force did not exceed 200 ana that the
enemy numbered about 1900.
Zagonyi's charge was one Of the
most dashing and brilliant actions of
the early part Of the war; Several
miles out Of Springfield the bodyguard
captured the advance pickets Of the
COnfederates. but one Of these escaped
and gave the alarm. Therefore when
the Union men reached Springfield
they found the enemy In battle array.
The nature Of the ground was such
that II gave little opportunity for Ia
gOnyi to form his men. Before going
Into the action he warned his com.
mand Of the strength Of the enemy
and told them that possibly no man
would come back alive. III any of you
would turn back you can do 90 now"
