Louis, St. Joseph and other iMissouri towns, had come some men to fight against what they believed to be Federal tyr- anny and usurpation, and for the honor of old Missouri and the rights of the South. And men fought under Price that day whose feet were on "their native heath, " whose homes were in this county, in sight of the battle-ground. And tliey all fought well, those in line, whether advancing or retreating, firing or falling back. Not any better than the Fed- erals, perhaps, but fully a...s well. There were some stragglers on both sides — not all of the cowards were in but one army. When early in the engagement Gen. Clark sent a mile and a half to the rear for his regiment of cavalry. Col. James P. Major, commanding, that officer was attacked by Sigel at the moment of receiving the order and driven back into the woods with all his force. After reforming and startiuij toward the front where Lyon was, to join their own division. Major's nicii were all broken up by large bodies of other horsemen, who, seeking to escape from Totten's grape and Dubois' shells and the Kan.^as men's musket balls, rode through Major's ranks in all directions, dividing the forces and communicacinfj their own terror to those about them, so that the colonel was left with only one company.
