7th Calvary of Missouri Volunteers

1 July 1862

the battle of Prairie Grove, Arkansas:

Prairie Grove

Other Names: Fayetteville

Location: Washington County

Campaign: Prairie Grove Campaign (1862)

Date(s): December 7, 1862

Principal Commanders: Brig. Gen. Francis J. Herron and Brig. Gen. James G. Blunt [US]; Maj. Gen. Thomas C.

Hindman [CS]

Forces Engaged: Army of the Frontier [US]; I Corps, Trans-Mississippi Army [CS]

Estimated Casualties: 2,568 total (US 1,251; CS 1,317)

Description: Maj. Gen. Thomas C. Hindman sought to destroy Brig. Gen. Francis Herron�s and Brig. Gen. James Blunt�s

divisions before they joined forces. Hindman placed his large force between the two Union divisions, turning on Herron

first and routing his cavalry. As Hindman pursued the cavalry, he met Herron�s infantry which pushed him back. The

Rebels then established their line of battle on a wooded high ridge northeast of Prairie Grove Church. Herron brought

his artillery across the Illinois River and initiated an artillery duel. The Union troops assaulted twice and were repulsed.

The Confederates counterattacked, were halted by Union canister, and then moved forward again. Just when it looked as

if the Rebel attack would roll up Herron�s troops, Blunt�s men assailed the Confederate left flank. As night came, neither

side had won, but Hindman retreated to Van Buren. Hindman�s retreat established Federal control of northwest

Arkansas.

Result(s): Union strategic victory
