This was the end of the battle.

We had won the victory at Pea Ridge.
I followed our advancing forces, and ascended to the summit of the elevation on which our last fire was concentrated.

Wounded men were gathered in little groups, and the dead were lying thick about them.
The range of our artillery had been excellent.

Rocks, trees, and earth attested the severity of our fire.

This cannonade was the decisive work of the day.
