Actions relating to Price's Retreat

Union records from Rock Island IL prison relating to my great-grf John William Guthrey (various spellings) indicate capture 30 Oct 1864 in Lawrence County MO, conscript of Armstrong's Company, forwarded from Springfield to St Louis and then Rock Island where confined until released 18 Apr 1865. I am having a hard time finding any information about Armstrong's company at all and also about what actions took place in Lawrence County Oct 1864 presumably during Price's retreat. Probably more of skirmish type incidents, I suspect Union reports are the most likely to have any information about this date, but so far none I have found seem to mention the date or area. Would anyone have any further information or suggestions. Many thanks, Brenda
