On October 10th 1863 Brig. Gen. Carter�s approached Blue Springs in force. Williams had received some reinforcements.

The battle began about 10:00 am with Union cavalry engaging the Confederates until afternoon while another mounted force attempted to place itself in a position to cut off a Rebel retreat.

Captain Orlando M. Poe, the Chief Engineer (former Col. of the 2nd Mich.), performed a reconnaissance to identify the best location for making an infantry attack.

At 3:30 pm, Brig. Gen. Edward Ferrero�s 1st Division, IX Army Corps, moved up to attack, which he did at 5:00 pm. Ferrero�s men broke into the Confederate line, causing heavy casualties, and advanced almost to the enemy�s rear before being checked.

After dark, the Confederates withdrew and the Federals took up the pursuit in the morning.

Total unknown so far. I will add names to the list as I confirme them.
