I did a search for this incident, which you probably did too, and was able to find nothing indicating the wound recieved by Royall. I don't recall reading anything about the fact other than that he was wounded. The wound Royall took from Latane was not mortal and he was able to recover from it.

Sorry I can't be of additional help here.

The description of Capt. Royall's wounds you are seeking is contained in "Across the Continent with the Fifth Cavalry," p. 295.

I am a newspaper reporter in Columbia, Mo., who compiles a daily Civil War history report for our newspaper.

Royall was from Columbia, and was unusual because he was a Regular Army officer who was not a West Point graduate. Things would get hot for the Fifth Cavalry 150 years ago this weekend.

Google has the book online as a free e-book. Here's the link:
