Battle of Buena Vista Report Highlights Heavy Losses

It notes multiple Kentucky, Indiana, and Mississippi regiments suffering heavy casualties, brave holds by battery positions, and praise for officers and volunteers, with prisoner exchanges completed and wounded cared for after night bivouacs in freezing conditions.
