	Eleventh Regiment Kansas Volunteer Infantry
		An extract from General Blunt's report of the battle is, however, herewith appended, which shows the estimation of the service of the regiment in the mind of the General commanding.
		A couple of days after the battle, the regiment, along with a major portion of the Division, returned to its old camping ground at Cane Hill, where it remained until [December] 27th, when it went with the army to Van Buren, on the Arkansas River, fifty miles south, in search of the rebels.
		The horses were picketed to sage bushes or held by their lariats by the men, whom the Major, in what was thought an excess of caution, required to lie down in line upon their arms, and under minute instructions as to their duties in case of a night attack.

	Battle of Prairie Grove - Wikinfo
		The Battle of Prairie Grove was a land battle of the American Civil War fought on 07 December 1862 that resulted in a tactical stalemate but essentially secured northwest Arkansas for the Union side.
		The battle opened on the morning of 7 December with Union General Herron crossing the river and deploying his footsore troops on Hindman's right.
		Though the battle was a tactical draw, it was a strategic victory for the Federal army as they remained in possession of the battlefield and Confederate fortunes in northwest Arkansas declined markedly from that point on.

		The Federal Army had gained the hill on opposite bank of the creek and were making the woods ring with their "Wild Hurrahs".
		As the Yankee dismounted skirmish line advanced up the hill upon right and left, he ordered all his men except cousin E.C. Montgomery to report to Col Wood at Ingram's house where he supposed Wood by this time formed his line of battle and was prepared to meet the advancing enemy.

	The Battle of Monterey, 1846 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		While the Mexicans were flying over the hill, the Texians also, with their unerring rifles, poured on them a most destructive fire, and in several instances, both horse and rider were seen to bound some feet into the air, and then fall dead, tumbling down the hill.
		Here we met the 7th Infantry; and as the men reached the base of the hill, a fire was immediately opened by the Texians, who commenced ascending the steep and rocky cliffs, pouring into the enemy the fire of their deadly rifles, which made them stagger and retreat towards the crest.
		The din of battle between the two armies ceased, and the valley of Monterey sank once more to repose; and, save the occasional ightning's flash, and the roaring of the thunder of heaven, which, as it were, re-enacted the scene of the deadly conflict of the day, all became, hushed.
