Springfield Missouri reports the Promont charge led by Major Zagonyi during the Body Guard action. Union troops routed 2,000 Rebels, held the city for two days, with 16 killed and 25 wounded among the guard and 10 missing. Gen.

It recalls three Norse settlers Malcol Gavin and John O Croat from Tolland bearing a Latin letter of recommendation to the king.
