The Battle of Boonville

I knew joining the south will be very complicated because of the much war that we are going to have later. We already had three battles already this is going to be fourth battle. I barely survived through some of the battles we had. I had family, but they died in the war. I was sent to escort Governor Jackson and General Price. When I escort Governor Jackson and General Price we had arrived on June 12 in Jefferson City order us to burn the bridges on the main rail lines. It didn’t take that long to burn down the bridges I like to get my work fast because I don’t like wasting people time. So after burn the bridges we went to do something else. General Price wanted to buy time consolidate state guard units from Lexington and Boonville all though he withdraw from Boonville. Later that day when I was bored so then boring turned from exciting because the battle we were about to have. The battle was intense it was not my first battle that I been in. I was ready and a little terrified because how big there were there men were trained I barely knew how to fight. For a minute I was just waiting to get in to action but, I didn’t feel like because the guys seem like they were doing is like they have everything under control. I was just sitting while the soldiers were taking care of business then joined in because there was nothing else to do so I just came in. Also the war was epic I was just doing so good at fighting I barely got hit by anybody I was moving so fast I was doing all I can to beat my enemies. I was helping others as just they were helping me fight it took a long time to fight them. It was little struggle to fight them. Once the battle was over ever one was very tired and thirsty the battle wasn’t over with yet. I was very tired the battle was still on so went back home. It was dark by the time we came back
