[edit] What battle is this?

The mentions I've found of this battle in the O.R. and elsewhere are actually a skirmish on Aug. 19/20, 1861 or an "expediton to Charleston" on October 2. Admittedly, I'm not familiar with the war in this section of Missouri other than a few major events. Red Harvest (talk) 16:26, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
