said Brown County militia during the
engagement of said day and that he

On the goth, 21st and 22nd day of
August, 1862, expeditions were sent
out against the Indians to drive them
from the county and collect If pos
sible all those which might be wound
ed in the county. On the 23rd, a
heavy assault was made by the In

the whole command under leadership

for Mankato, taking all the inhabi-
tants along, finding that the ammuni-
tion would not last through another
engagement and the provisions would
last only for two days longer"
