805:"While the historian James McGhee states that Mitchell's regiment did not take part in the campaign, instead remaining at Fort Pleasant, other sources state that the regiment was engaged in a skirmish near Gaines' Landing on the Mississippi on June 28, along with the 9th Missouri Infantry Regiment and the 1st Missouri Field Battery." reads a bit run-on, might benefit from being chopped in half. 999:"While the withdrawal was initially orderly, Parsons' and Tappan's divisions became panicked as night fell, and it became a rout.
