Here is one of the items in my collection on Honey Springs (Elk Creek). It is a casualty list for the 29th Texas Cavalry sent to newspapers in Texas from "Camp Mechire" by an individual who identified himself only as "DCL" on July 22, 1863.

It appeared in the Texas Standard on August 6, 1863 (Page 1):
