The Memoirs of General Ulysses S. Grant
Part 3.

CHAPTER XXXIV
19/20

Logan was in advance with one of his brigades.

He deployed and moved up to engage the enemy.

McPherson ordered the road in rear to be cleared of wagons, and the balance of Logan's division, and Crocker's, which was still farther in rear, to come forward with all dispatch.

The order was obeyed with alacrity.

Logan got his division in position for assault before Crocker could get up, and attacked with vigor, carrying the enemy's position easily, sending Gregg flying from the field not to appear against our front again until we met at Jackson.
In this battle McPherson lost 66 killed, 339 wounded, and 37 missing -- nearly or quite all from Logan's division.
