Michigan Civil War
TWELFTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
When about seventy-five miles from the mouth of Cache river in Arkansas, the boat in command of Lieutenant W. M. T. Bartholomew was hailed by a man from the shore. His orders were to detain every citizen he met until the expedition was over. Lieutenant Whitten, Second in command, ordered the boat to stop and take the stranger on board, and as the boat was swinging toward the shore the man started back up the bank and mounted his horse. He was ordered to halt, but instead of doing so put spurs to his horse and was off like the wind.
