In Ms., Dr., President Faust's "This Republic of Suffering," p. 45, we find on the same pages as the descriptions of Fort Pillow
and Poison Springs:

"It was not just African American soldiers who were at risk of southern retribution. A Texas officer described with some
amazement his unit's engagment with a black regiment near Monroe, Louisiana: I never saw so many dead negroes in my
life. We took no prisoners, except the white officers, fourteen in number; these were lined up and shot after the negroes
were finished. Next day they were thrown into a wagon, hauled to the Ouchita river and thrown in. Some were hardly dead--
that made no difference--in they went. [George Gautier, Harder Than Death: The Life of George GBautier, an Old Texan, Austin,
Tex.: n.p. 1902, pp.10-11]
