Numbers 3. Report of Captain Amaziah Moore, Second Kansas Cavalry, of skirmish at Reed's Mountain.
CAMP NEAR CANE HILL, ARK., December 11, 1862.
COLONEL: The picket guard, commanded by Captain [A.] Gunther, composed of detachments from Companies I and C, having been attacked by the enemy with a force of cavalry, I ordered Captain [J.] Huntoon to re-enforce the guard with Company H, of the Eleventh Regiment. The guard was posted upon a rocky eminence on the Cove Creek road, about 3 miles from this encampment.
I take this occasion to speak in the highest terms of the bravery and good conduct of Captain Huntoon, of the Eleventh Regiment, and of Captain Gunther, of the Second Regiment. The men, with scarcely an exception, fought gallantly, and many instances of great personal daring were observed.
Very respectfully, &c.,
A. MOORE,
Captain, and Field officer of the Day.
