Skirmish at Island Mound

The Skirmish at Island Mound was a skirmish of the American Civil War, occurring on October 29, 1862, in Bates County, Missouri. This Union victory was notable as the first known engagement of an African-American regiment during the Civil War.
==Background==
Even before the Emancipation Proclamation, Captain (soon to be Colonel) James M. Williams had been forming a regiment in Kansas of former slaves from Missouri and Arkansas. In August 1862, these men were mustered into Kansas service as the 1st Kansas Colored Volunteers.〔(Chris Tabor, "Skirmish at Island Mound" ), Island Mound, accessed 12 Oct 2009〕 The United States was not ready to accept black troops, so they were not mustered into United States service until January 13, 1863.〔Dyer, Frederick H., ''A Compendium of the War of the Rebellion'', Part 3, page 1186〕 Despite the uncertainty of their future as a federal military force, Kansas ensured the men were armed with a mix of good Austrian and Prussian muskets with bayonets.〔Moore, Frank, ''The Rebellion Record, Volume Six'', G.P. Putnam 1863, pages 52-54〕
Captain Richard G. Ward's 170-man battalion and Captain Henry C. Seaman's 70-man battalion were ordered by Maj. B.S. Henning to proceed to Bates County, Missouri. They were accompanied by members of the 5th Kansas Cavalry serving as scouts. The objective was to break up a guerrilla army near the Toothman homestead, about nine miles on the other side of the Kansas-Missouri border. John Toothman had been identified as a guerrilla and imprisoned at Fort Lincoln, a Civil War prison camp near Fulton, Kansas.
As the Kansans approached on Monday, October 27, the scouts identified a large party ahead as local Confederate guerrillas under Bill Truman and Dick Hancock, as well as Missouri State Guard recruits under Colonel Jeremiah “Vard” Cockrell (all mounted.) The guerrillas and recruits had been using nearby Hog Island (also known as Osage Island) as a base of operations.〔''The War of the Rebellion: A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies'', Series I, Volume 53, pages 455-459〕
