Re: Hollow Square
In Response To: Re: Hollow Square ()

I found an article on the Hollow Square performed by the 32nd Indiana against Confederate forces at Rowlett's Station, Ky.

From the article:

"The Thirty-second gained nationwide recognition for its stand against Confederate forces at Rowlett's Station, Ky. A detachment of 500 men under Lt. Col. Henry von Trebra fought off 1300 men of Terry's Texas Rangers and infantry under General Hindman. The 32nd formed the "hollow square", and drove the attackers back, losing 10 and 22 wounded, but killing thirty-three of the enemy, including Col. Terry and wounding fifty others."

The entire article is at http://www.serve.com/shea/germusa/infantry.htm

I often wonder if this is what Custer had in mind at The Little Big Horn, or was he simply "circling the wagons" in desperation...
