cage is Of the battle of Saline river,
Arkansas. April 80. 1854. and is as
follows:
Gen. Steele's expedition was re-
treating before the advance of the
confederate army that had whipped
Gen. Banks. We had done our part
in occupying the Arkansas country
down to Camden. but the Red river
expedition in northern Louisiana was
broken up by Price and Kirby Smith
before we could join Gen. Banks at
Shreveport. The confederate army
drove us out of our position and back
toward Little Rock.
I'VE had been on the march several
days from Camden when the enemy
caught up with US near the Saline
river, which we had to cross. The
crossing was going to be difficult be-
cause it was in the spring and the
river was flooded Our crossing. the
only one near the place we had come
to, was in a sharp bend Of the river.
which we were approaching from the
concave side. We came down the road
that led to the ferry. and at cross
road rebel battery opened fire on us.
Beyond, between us and the river.
there was rise of ground and most
OF the army kept on and passed this
rise. leaving the rear guard to hold
back the attack The 40th Iowa regi-
ment was in the rear guard and we
helped prevent the advance Of the
enemy. We fought until nightfall.
