I was stationed at Camp Wright, Oak Grove, near War- ner's Eancho, San Diego county, on the old overland stage route, which crossed the desert to Fort Yuma. Our com- mand was composed of Companies D, G and F, 1st Califor- nia Infantry, and a detachment of California Volunteer Cav- alry under Lieut. Wellman, the whole under the command of Major Ed. A. Eigg. Letters were received daily from Colonel Carleton informing our commander of the move- ments of Showalter's party. Finally our command was o...rdered to enter the field and capture this ' c outfit " before it crossed the Colorado into Arizona. Active operations began with us. Every road approach- ing our camp was strictly guarded. Scouts were sent out in every direction, over mountains, through ravines, deep canons, and across desert wastes; signal stations were erected on lofty mountain peaks so that nothing was left undone that could be done in order to secure success and fulfill the orders from headquarters. No one as yet knew the strength of this party, and various reports were brought in, some placing the number as high as one hundred men who were moving in the direction of our camp.
