Battle (Massacre) of Confederate Officers by Osage

Hello the list:

Robert here. I've always been interested in the battle between Confederate officers and Osage Indians in May, 1863 which ended on a sandbar on the Verdigris river with the deaths of 20 of 22 officers (and two Osage.)

I have most of the common sources: the Bartles account, the various accounts by Warner Lewis, etc. I'm wondering however, if anyone has the report by Captain Doudna (Company G, 9th Calvary) of the event. Capt. Doudna's version of the event is inexplicably missing from the record.

Robert
