Desperate pursuit of Dorn by Capt Wilson in Missouri
From New Brighton dated February 22 1865 a reminiscence recounts Captain Wilson of the 2d Towns Cavalry pursuing the guerrilla leader Dorn across Missouri's bayous after a night raid. Dorn escaped after a close chase ending when his guide killed his pursuer’s horse and the party scattered into swamp water. Three guerrillas were killed. Dorn was captured later but not proven to be the leader. The account ties to Belmont Island battles and Paine’s defense, with references to Headly’s History of the Rebellion.
