. . . On this same August 3d, trains of provisions and other supplies started from Rolla for General Lyon's army at Springfield, and a detail of two men from each company of the Thirteenth was made to guard the train, in command of Lieutenant James Beardsley of Company D. The train reached Springfield in safety, and our men participated, as volunteers in the great battle of "Wilson's Creek." . . . .

The Thirteenth Illinois was represented in this battle by Lieutenant James M. Beardsley, of Company D, who with a
detail of two men from each of the ten companies of the regiment had been sent forward from Rolla to guard a train of
provisions and other supplies. . .
