Buckner looks close, see:

WASHINGTON, ARK., December 28, 1864.

GENERAL: I have the honor to make the following report of my operations in the late expedition into Missouri: . . .
. . . That night the enemy evacuated Lexington in great haste and confusion. Shelby's old brigade, under General M. Jeff. Thompson, bivouacked that night in the suburbs of the town. I encamped at General Shields' farm, three miles south of Lexington, marching that day twenty-six miles. On the morning of the 20th I moved west in the same direction as before to Fire Creek Prairie, a distance of twenty-two miles, where I encamped. . .

STERLING PRICE,
Major-General, Commanding.
