No. 18.
Report of Lieut. Col. George W. Robbins, Eighth Wisconsin Infantry.
CAMP NEAR JACINTO, Miss., September 22; 1862.
I respectfully submit the following report of the part taken in the
late engagement by the Eighth Regiment Wisconsin Volunteers, near
Iuka, Miss., September 19:
I was ordered with my regiment by General Stanley to take up a
position in rear of the hospital, to support Captain Spoor's battery,
which was posted on rising ground on my right and rear, my right
resting on the road. We held this position during the engagement,
exposed to a heavy fire from the infantry in our front, but not very
destructive, as most of the shots passed too high. There were only two
men wounded during the action (Capt. J. B. Redfield and Private John
C. Green), both of Company A. Our regimental surgeons, S. P. Thorn-
hill and J. E. Murta, were actively engaged at hospital taking care of
the wounded of other regiments.
Yours, respectfully,
G. W. ROBBINS,
Lieutenant-Colonel, Comdg. Eighth Wisconsin Regiment.
Col. JOSEPH A. MOWER, Comdg. 2d Brig., 2d Div., Army of the Miss.
No. 19.
Report of Capt. Nelson T. Spoor, Second Iowa Battery.
CAMP NEAR JACINTO, MISS., September 22, 1862.
SIR: I have the honor to report as follows of the battery under my
command in the action of September 19:
On the arrival of the brigade the battery was ordered by Major Col-
man to take position on the right of the road leading to luka, prepared
to open fire if the enemy drove back our infantry in front. The bat-
tery remained in this position until 12 p. m., when, by order of Colonel
Smith, it retired 600 yards, being replaced by Powell's battery.
Corpl. A. Atkinson and Privates William Eckles and Robert Rose were
slightly wounded by spent balls. Three horses received flesh wounds,
but were not disabled. The ambulance attached to the battery was en-
gaged during the night in removing the wounded from the field, and six
blankets were taken by the hospital department.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
N. T. SPOOR,
Captain, Commanding Second Iowa Battery.
Lieutenant SPRAGUE, A. A. A. G., 2d Brig., 2d Div., Army of the Miss.
