Major Eberhart says in his report that, on the 1st of September, 1863, there were but fifty men of the four companies who were able for duty, and that a few days later, when he was ordered to proceed to Little Rock, he had but forty men in his command who were really able to march. At that time there were one thousand two hundred Union soldiers In hospital at Brownsville. On September 10th and 11th all the sick who were able to be moved were "conveyed from Brownsville to Little Rock, and the detachment of the Thirty-second Iowa accompanied them. There were many deaths among those left at Brownsville, and the mortality was almost as great among those who were removed to Little Rock, on account of the added suffering which they endured while being removed to that place."
