In December, within a month of the formation of the regiment, the regiment marched north to meet Union forces at the Battle of Prairie Grove. On December 7, 1862, as part of Parson's brigade, the 10th was aligned to defend the main Confederate body of forces. By mid-day, Parson's brigade was moved up to the main line driving Union forces back. This gain was stalled by Union artillery. The attack cost the regiment dearly; casualties totaled 31 dead, 62 wounded and 3 missing, including the deaths of both the commander, Colonel Alexander E. Steen, and executive officer, Lieutenant Colonel Chappell. Larue was wounded in the forehead during this attack (Battle of Prairie Grove). In late May, Major General Sterling Price ordered the 10th to join his forces, marching them northeast of Little Rock in Jacksonport. Now with Price's division, in late June they moved southeast to the Mississippi River to confront the a Union garrison at Helena, Arkansas. This move was hard, taking 12 days, marching across flooded river bottoms. In the pre-dawn hours of July 4, 1863, simultaneous attacks against Batteries A, C and D were planned.

The rest of Price's division was not quite as successful, meeting with strong resistance and leaving the 10th without proper support. Left without a choice, Pickett called for a retreat of his division, with disastrous results; the division was left nearly decimated with 11 killed, 41 wounded and 237 captured with only 236 able bodied soldiers remaining. Larue was one of the prisoners captured in battle. By August, the 10th returned to defend Little Rock against Union assault, however, the attack came to a different point in the city, leaving the regiment spared from harm.

  • Tennessees Greatest Stud Belle Meade
    TENNESSEE'S GREATEST STUD--BELLE MEADE WILLIAM RIDLEY WILLS, II With all the political, social, and economic ties between Ken- tucky and Tennessee• it seems normal that Belle Meade, Tennes- see's greatest stud farm, had close Kentucky connections. The Belle Meade Plantation began in 1807 when John Harding bought 250 acres of land and an old station located six miles southwest of Nashville on the Natchez Road. This trail, which had long been used by the Indians, was a route for boatmen, mail carriers, preachers, soldiers, and settlers traveling between Tennessee and Kentucky on the north and Natchez on the south. Harding was one of those tough farmers who periodically took slaves and produce on flatboats down the rivers to Natchez and New Orleans. The Belle Meade Stud dates to 1816 when the imported stal- lion Boaster stood at John Harding's. By the end of the decade such prominent Tennesseans as Sam Houston and Felix Grundy were boarding horses and ponies there. Grundy had moved to Nashville a few years earlier from Kentucky, where he had been chief justice of the state's supreme court. During the 1820s imp. [imported] Eagle, imp. Bagdad, and Sir Archy, Jr., stood at Harding's stable. 1 In the 1830s Harding's interests turned to cotton plantations in Louisiana and Arkansas. Accordingly, near the end of the decade he turned responsibility for managing Belle Meade over to his thirty-two-year-old son, William Giles Harding. The young- er Harding, who was already a brigadier general in the Tennes- WILLIAM RIDLEY WILLS, B.A., has served as president of the Tennessee Historical Society and is currently a trustee of Vanderbilt University.

  • William Giles Harding
    William Giles Harding William Giles Harding (1808–1886) was an American naturalist and livestock breeder who attained the rank of Brigadier General in the Tennessee State Militia prior to the American Civil War (1861–1865), and headed the Military and Financial Board of Tennessee at the beginning of the Civil War, until his arrest by Union authorities in 1862. General Harding inherited his father's farm, the famous Belle Meade Plantation, known worldwide for breeding thoroughbred horses. The once sprawling horse farm and surrounding properties became the Town of Belle Meade and home of George Peabody College for Teachers and Vanderbilt University founded in 1873. Today, the upscale neighborhood is a part of greater Nashville. Early life Harding was born in 1808 near Nashville, Tennessee to John Harding[disambiguation needed], a Virginian, who one year earlier (1807) purchased 250 acres (1.0 km2) near Richland Creek known as "McSpadden's Bend". John Harding's "McSpadden's Bend Farm" became well known in the area for boarding, training and breeding thoroughbred horses. Nashville newspapers carried advertisements for the farm's services as early as 1816. In 1820, John Harding built a 'federal style' house on the property. He expanded the farm, installed a training track for race horses and continued to board horses, including those of nearby neighbor, former President Andrew Jackson. John Harding renamed the farm Belle Meade, which became known as the Belle Meade Plantation. Records from the Tennessee Historical Society (Nashville) indicate that John's son, William Giles Harding, became interested in the horse breeding business early. Education As a young boy, Harding was sent to Connecticut and educated at Partridge's American Literary, Scientific and Military Academy in Middletown, Connecticut.
