To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I did not seehow I could maintain discipline, or retain the confidence of my command, if we should return to Cairo without an effort to do something. Columbus, besides being strongly fortified, contained a garrison muchmore numerous than the force I had with me. It would not do, therefore, to attack that point. About two o'clock on the morning of the 7th, Ilearned that the enemy was crossing troops from Columbus to the westbank to be dispatched, presumably, after Oglesby. I knew there was asmal...l camp of Confederates at Belmont, immediately opposite Columbus, and I speedily resolved to push down the river, land on the Missouriside, capture Belmont, break up the camp and return. Accordingly, thepickets above Columbus were drawn in at once, and about daylight theboats moved out from shore. In an hour we were debarking on the westbank of the Mississippi, just out of range of the batteries at Columbus.
The ground on the west shore of the river, opposite Columbus, is low andin places marshy and cut up with sloughs.
