The Civil War - Combat in Camden County
  1. The Battle of Monday's Hollow: Colonel John Wyman, at the head of the 13th Illinois Infantry, entered Camden County the morning of October 13, 1863 from the east. His cavalry escort, consisting of Maj. Clark Wright's Fremont Battalion and Major W.D. Bowen's First Battalion, Missouri Cavalry, headed northwest on the road to Lebanon as Wyman with his infantry and wagons moved northwest on the Linn Creek Road. Bowen's force collided with elements of a Missouri State Garud cavalry unit commanded by Lt. Col. J.M. "Myscal" Johnson, and then called for Wright's assistance. Wyman too was summoned. He halted near the place where Highway 7 now crosses Murphy Creek, corralled his wagons, and sent half of his infantry south in search of the cavalry. When the Union forces came together in the valley of Murphy Creek, they found Johnson's cavalry posted on a ridge to the south. Wyman attacked, driving the Southeners in the direction of Lebanon. Various Union reports counted the number of Southerners killed and wounded as high as 100, while claiming only one dead on the Union side.
  2. Affair at Linn Creek: Wyman remained in his camp on the Linn Creek Road for several days after the encounter in Monday's Hollow. Meanwhile, Southern partisans took possession of an undefended Linn Creek. On October 14, 1861, the Fremont Battalion descended on Linn Creek and drove the Southerners out of town, taking 37 prisoners.
