Roan's Tan Yard MO011

supportedunresolved NPS says rumors of the force had circulated for a week without the Union troops finding it. Torrence says reconnaissances on the 7th learned that Poindexter was recruiting and had his camp on the headwaters of Silver Creek.

Knowledge from a summary and an interested report; no message log inspected.

supportedunresolved Torrence ordered the camp destroyed and moved his command to camp 23 miles away. Turner says Hubbard captured horses, wagons, tents, powder and arms but had to destroy what he could not remove, and that Hubbard's cavalry was greatly in need of ammunition.

Captures and supply from an interested report and a relayed one; not a return.

supportedunresolved Torrence's plan was for the carbine-armed companies to draw the enemy's fire and reply while the First Iowa and part of Merrill's Horse charged the camp.

Plan from an interested report.

supportedpost_outcome The frozen and live results read Union victory; NPS says the Union force destroyed the camp. Torrence calls it a complete rout; Turner's relayed account says the enemy was completely routed after forty minutes.

Retain the original result and engagement interval; later movements and campaign contribution are different measures. No new probabilities or individual causal credit.

disputedpost_outcome The frozen casualty text and the live field read 91 (US 11; CS 80). Torrence says the enemy's killed and wounded could not be less than 80 to 100 and gives no Union figure. Turner, from Hubbard, gives the enemy's loss as 40 killed and 60 wounded and Hubbard's as 6 killed and 19 wounded, with 28 prisoners.

Original casualty returns were not inspected; preserve totals, categories, cutoffs and differences. No canonical reconciliation or casualty-based opening count; related actions must not be added without resolving population overlap. Hubbard's figures may cover only his own command.

disputedunresolved The frozen commanders are Colonel J. A. Poindexter and Major W. M. G. Torrence. Torrence says he marched his command to Boonville and was joined by Hunt's companies of Merrill's Horse and Hubbard's four companies of the First Missouri, and his report states in the passive that Hunt was assigned the carbine-armed force and that three First Iowa companies and part of Merrill's Horse were ordered to charge, without naming who gave the orders. Turner's report, from Hubbard, credits Hubbard with the attack and the rout.

Two interested accounts credit different majors; no automatic sole credit. Torrence's orders are reported in the passive.

No inspected return establishes matched personnel at a common opening boundary. Imported numerical estimates remain unchanged; this pass does not validate them as simultaneous opening forces.

disputedunresolved The frozen force field gives the Union detachments 450 and the Confederates unknown; the live field reads US 450 and CS 0. Torrence says 500 mounted men went out and that Poindexter's camp held 600 (read 'COO' in OCR) to 800 enlisted men and as many sympathizers. Turner, relaying Hubbard, says the rebels were 900 strong.

Column figures and estimates of the enemy relayed at second hand; no return. None is adopted as a matched opening strength. The live CS zero is not measured absence.

supportedinherited Torrence says the camp was strongly placed among ravines, thick underbrush and timber, and that darkness, heavy fog and underbrush prevented cutting off the retreat.

Ground and conditions from an interested report; no map verification.
