U. S. Civil War
NINTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
Company B, on duty as provost guard under command of Lieutenant Wright, held possession of the court-house for two hours after they were attacked, and until the enemy had fired the building, and in the meantime killed and wounded a large number of the enemy. The rebel loss in the fight was very much greater than ours, both in killed and wounded, and Colonel Wharton, of the Texas Rangers, in command of a portion of the attacking party, was reprimanded by General Forrest for his defeat in his effort to capture the camp.
