Since I can get to this site on my school computer I need to post a picture for my civil war project...
participating like the Elric Brothers and Tringham. Tringham did participate, though. I didn’t stop him for I felt how much he wanted to fight. Each person has their own reason for fighting. Tringham signed up to protect his brother; At least, that’s what he said. I…I just want peace, freedom and a good life for Kelly and my two children, Evelyn and Matthew. Maes also wants these things along with the safety of his wife Gracia and daughter Elysia. I’ve yet to real see a true reason he’s fighting, but I think I will eventually learn about everyone in this Battalion. I will try to tell you more about each member as I learn more about them.

We continue marching south. We’re still in Missouri. After almost three months together some soldiers are actually trying to test my patience. Kimblee, Archer and Grand have seemed to gain a large dislike for me. Ed, the older of the two Elrics, is still angry I took him out of the battle. His brother, Alphonse, doesn’t care and is actually happy I took him out of the battle. It’s interesting how the two brothers are hardly alike in anything other than how they look. Company B is growing Rowdy. The more time that passes from a battle the harder it gets to make them obey orders. I’ve even seen some fighting and arguing among all the men. This sure is a dysfunctional battalion. I noticed Tim Marcoh spends all his time alone. I wonder why? I have to be harsh on him especially. Guys like him are usually the first to run away. I have to be brutal on this Battalion for I need them to be ready for whatever comes our way.

The Battle of Wilson’s Creek was on the 10th. We were camped in Springfield. Confederate troops approached General Lyon’s forces and we made plans to attack. We were forced into 2 different lines at around 5:00 a.m. in the morning. My Battalion was in Brigadier General Lyon’s line. Although the rebels were attacked first, they tried to attack 3 more times that day and failed to break through the Union line. Lyon was killed and after the third attack, the rebels withdrew. We retreated back to Springfield from Wilson’s Creek and the Rebels didn’t follow. I have the sad news that two of my men have been killed, Dorochet Dalton and Law Roan. They were 2 good fellows. They seemed to have no option other than to join the army. This confederate victory has been rough, but has taught my men the union isn’t flawless and neither are they. Southwestern Missouri has been occupied by the confederates so we are continuing south toward Arkansas while the other troops are staying in Missouri to defend against any more coming attacks. It’s off to Arkansas!
