Ten Miles SW of Fayetteville, Arkansas, is the Beautiful Prarie Grove Battlefield State Park. It is the site of a one-day battle on December 7th, 1862, between 11,000 Confederates commanded by Confederate General Thomas C. Hindman, and about 8500 Federals commanded by Union Generals Francis J. Herron, and James G. Blunt. The battle resulted in combined casualties well over 2,000, and a Southern Retreat back towards Fort Smith, Arkansas. Just a Beautiful Park, with several historic buildings on site, it is well worth a visit if you are ever in the area. |
