Well, Farmer gives us a frank and fair description of the fight at Pilot Knob from the Confederate side, one of only a few that did so. I would love to get my hands on the rest of his memoirs...
Would that there were more memoirs of Confederates who participated in the fight and subsequent actions. The accounts of those who did write, mostly remember the later actions at Westport and Mine Creek, which are good but throw little new light on the beginnings of the ill-starred campaign (or raid).
