My great grandfather was wounded in the Battle of Mansfield and walked back home to Logansport after the Yankees fled. He later bought the property that is still family owned 150 years later.
ETA: his son lived to 101 passing away in 1957.

But could not finish off the Union Army the next day at the battle of Pleasant Hill. The Federals were able to retreat back down the Red River Valley to Ellick, where the Naval component of the expedition was stranded by low water. A Union army engineer named Bailey built a temporary dam which raised the water level enough for the steamboats to float over the shoals and escape. The campaign was a failure for the Union, but not the disaster it might have been.
