James Redpath, The Public Life of Captain John Brown, Chapter 9: battle of Ossawatomie. (search)
n the morning, they started for Fort Sanders, on Washington Creek, to find that the Missourians had fled. It is probable that the old man was also at the capture of Fort Titus; and it is certain that, on the 26th of August, his company was at Middle Creek, at a point now called Battle Mound, eight miles from Ossawatomie, where there was a camp of one hundred and sixty Southern invaders. The Free State forces, consisting of sixty men,--the united companies of John Brown, Captain Shore, and Prewithin one mile and a half of the western boundary of the town of Ossawatomie. At this place my son Frederick K. (who was not attached to my force) had lodged, with some four other young men from Lawrence, and a young man named Garrison, from Middle Creek. The scouts, led by a pro-slavery preacher named White, shot my son dead in the road, whilst he-as 1 have since ascertained — supposed them to be friendly. At the same time they butchered Mr. Garrison, and badly mangled one of the young m

ds of citizens, old and young, venerable magistrates, whose lives have been distinguished by the love of the people, have been compelled to fly from their homes and families, to escape imprisonment and exile at the hands of Northern and German soldiers under the orders of Mr. Lincoln and his military subordinates. The early military movements in Kentucky are to be considered as taking place along a line running through the interiour of the State, extending from Columbus in the West to Prestonburg and Pikeville in the mountains on the Virginia frontier. From his strong position at Cumberland Mountain, Gen. Zollicoffer prepared for cautious advances upon the enemy. On the 19th of September, a portion of his command advanced to Barboursville, and dispersed a camp of fifteen hundred Federals. Gen. Zollicoffer continued to advance, and early in October reached the town of London in Laurel County, breaking up the enemy's camps in that region. Meanwhile, Brigadier-General Buckner

t last we were at liberty to return to our quarters we lay down, and, all things considered, slept well till morning, at which time we turned out steaming, to continue our march. As we moved out of the charmed circle of Maryland Heights, the clouds broke away and the sun came forth intensely hot and scorching. Many of the infantry gave way under it. Some were sunstruck, and we now longed for the clouds as anxiously as before we had looked for the sun. Passing through a settlement called Middle Creek, and the pretty little village of Jefferson, at which we tarried awhile at noon, we arrived about sundown at the city of Frederick, since made famous by Whittier's Barbara Frietchie. The city lay in a section of country whose beauty was truly charming; and, indeed, the whole of Pleasant Valley,—that being the name of the stretch of territory over which we had just passed,—with its fresh green fields, and dwellings betokening an air of unusual thrift and comfort, having the Blue Ridge as

illsborough, Fleming county, by a small Federal detachment, which put them to flight, killing eleven, wounding twenty-nine, and capturing twenty-two men. The expedition, commanded by General Nelson, was to go up the Licking River, pass through Prestonburg and Piketon (or Pikeville), to cross the Cumberland Mountains, and finally descend upon Lebanon in the valley of Clinch River, whence it could cut off the communications between Virginia and Tennessee, On the 24th of October its column, after a brief skirmish, took possession of the village of West Liberty, and on the 6th of November a column of about three thousand Federals occupied Prestonburg, on the Big Sandy. This tributary of the Ohio is navigable above Piketon, and thus afforded Nelson great facilities for revictualling his army. The Confederates had collected in haste about one thousand men, under Colonel Williams, for the purpose of covering Piketon, and especially the defile of Pound Gap in the Cumberland Mountains, a p

The Confederates occupied ng his depots of provisions, his wounded, and the little town of Prestonburg. The battle of Middle Creek cost him about sixty killed and oneMiddle Creek cost him about sixty killed and one hundred wounded; the Federals had only twenty-seven men disabled. Their success was complete but barren, because, not being able to subsist at Prestonburg, they were soon compelled to return to Paintsville. No decisive operations were possible in that region.
