One hundred fifty years ago, on October 12, 1864, Capt. Thomas N. Stevens of the 28th Wisconsin Infantry records a potential fight that didn’t happen: Pine Bluff, Ark., Oct. 12, 1864 …. The Rebs that were hovering around Pine Bluff are all gone—there are none of any account this side the Saline river. A large Cavalry force came here last week, & went out on a scout. The rebs fell back before them & avoided a fight. As far as a fight goes we are as safe here as in Wisconsin—just about— I am so sorry that quinine is not here—it does take so long to get anything here from home. If I had had it all sent by mail I might have got part of it. Well, we did the best we could.
