The pursuit continued for 8 or 10 mls.
115 prisoners were taken, 10 Yankees
Killed & 18 or 19 wounded. Our loss in
Killed was 3, in wounded 19.
Thus resulted a battle which was
far more significant than the loss
of either side wld. indicate.
The force opposed to us ^'was said to be' "the best driled
& organized in the West, containing
the celebrated 7th Ohio regt.
That bravery, gallantry,& disregard of
personal danger which ^'has' covered so
many of our Southern officers with glory
in other battles, was displayed to an
eminent degree in this battle.
Cols. Heth, Reynolds, & McCausland
& Major Hounshell were seen wherever
the action was hottest, in deed every
officer did his whole duty.
