Table of contents :
Six and a half feet of Missouri soil --
Fifth wheel to a coach --
The darkest days of the war --
This will be our opportunity --
Things were beginning to wear a threatening aspect --

Night quickly set in --
We'll I-uker them today! --

We had better lay down our arms and go home --
More trouble than we could care for --

They ran like hens --
I bid them all good bye --

The men would do all they could --
Death came in a hundred shapes --
My God! My boys are running! --
We must push them --
I never saw such slaughter --
Van Dorn has done it, sure enough --
The best we had in the ranch --
The reckoning --
