The Daily Dispatch: October 28, 1862., [Electronic resource], Gen. Polk. (search)
Gen. Polk. --Gen. Folk had a narrow escape from capture at Perryville. At dusk he left his staff and rode up to stop the fire of a Confederate regiment, as he thought, upon our troops. Seizing the Colonel by the shoulder, he demanded "why he was firing on his friends." The Colonel said that he did not know that he was. "Who are you?" said Polk. "The Colonel of the 22d Indiana," was the reply. The General again shook him roughly, and ordered him to cease firing, and before the Yankees found out who he was, he put spurs to his horse and got away.
