The Battle of Wilson's Creek

Looking up, we could, ourselves, see a great crowd of men on horseback, some armed, and others unarmed, mixed in with wagons and teams and led horses, all in dreadful confusion, scampering over the hill, and rushing down toward us —a panic-stricken drove. In another instant, we saw the flash and heard the report of Totten’s guns, which had gone into battery on the top of the hill, not more than a thousand yards away, and were throwing shot into the flying crowd. And then, in quick response, came the sound of Sigel’s guns, as they opened upon Churchill, Greer, Major, and Brown, and drove them in confusion out of the valley in which they were encamped and into the thick woods that fringed the banks of Skeggs’ Branch and covered the hills that rose on either side of that little stream.

In a moment McCulloch, followed by McIntosh, was in the saddle and on his way to take command of the troops on the eastern side of the creek, and Price, having ordered his infantry and artillery to follow, was galloping up Bloody Hill to take command of Cawthon’s brigade, which was still falling back before Lyon, resisting him all that it could. Price hoped with it to hold the Federals in check till the rest of his Missourians could come up.
