BUILDERIARCH ITECT DATES December 7, 1552 The Battle - The Borden House The surrounding land and the Borden House cannot be separated. The Confederate right flank was anchored around the Borden House and orchard where the main fighting of the Prairie Gmve battle took place. Briefly stated, General Herron attacked the Conzederate right flank near noon and it was not until 4-00 that General Blunt came on the field to unite the Union forces, which then fought together until 7:OO in the evening. Con- sequently, I intend to confine this report only to those witnessed accounts which took place on the Confederate right flank in and around the Borden House. I believe that these reports, £ram bth Korth and South, will prove how important this site is to the Prairie Grove Eattlefield Park and that the existing Borden House and orchard grand must be saved as an original historical landmark intimately identified with the main events uhich took place on that Sunday, December 7, 1862. -- - .. .- - .- . General Windman C.S.A. "The shape of the hill detemined the line of battle, which was nearly in the fom .of a horseshoe. " . tfien the Con£ederate .Army had drawn a Line of . battle around the hilltop village of Prairie Grove they were already too late to egTage General Herron's Union command alone as .had been desiped ... 'enera1 Marmaduke was falling back before the Union infmtry, and Gemral Shoup had pl.ac.ed his ConEderate division in position to xeet the expected attack. He had with admirdle judgement selected a strong defensive position upon the brow of a densely wooded hill commanding the Cane Hill and Fzyetteville road and within artillery range of the ford of Illinois Creek." (Foote) Prentiss 1888 "The lines of battle seemea very short, the Confederate front embraced, in general terms, between the Hall House (Eorden House) and the Morton House. East of the former and west sf the latter the battle seemed to fray out so to speak, and we could find no tradition or landmark. *' kccarding to the Arkansas History Comission, "The most severe fighting of the battle took place about the Borden House and orchard. " General Herron reported more tha? 300 dead in less than two acres of the slopes about this house. Cccu?ying the ricpht flank of the Confederate Amy, the Borden House saw the start of the battle, as this flank successfully held the orchard then occupied by an a5andoned Confederate battsry of four pieces which baited the initial attacks of General Herron. Z*ne following records will prove this, beyond a doubt, by continually referring to the one obvicus landmark in this area -- the existing Borden House. FO;..

  • The En Échelon Attack in Historical Perspective
    THE EN ÉCHELON ATTACK IN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Terrence L. Salada and John D. Wedo The en échelon attack appears in several battles in the American Civil War (ACW), although that fact might not be well-known to most readers. Perhaps the most covered and well-known example by a large margin is the Confederate attack on July 2, 1863, the second day of the Battle of Gettysburg. Accounts of the battle often explain the tactic, citing a Civil War battle or two where it was used prior to Gettysburg, but overlook its history and full performance record. To address this gap, this paper examines the en échelon attack from its historical roots through all major battles exhibiting it throughout the war. This paper first discusses the word échelon and its meanings and presents a summary of the discussion of this tactic by Baron Antoine Henri de Jomini, the prominent author of the 19th century on strategy and tactics. The opinions of authors from standard works on the battle are presented to show the variety of opinions on the tactic. Because of its prominence among en échelon attacks, General Robert E. Lee’s choice of this tactic is then discussed. Other battles exhibiting this tactic in attack are summarized, and statistics from the group of battles are computed and discussed. Conclusions include a caution for historians writing about the échelon attack and its effectiveness. In discussing the choice of the by Lee on that July afternoon, this paper covers only this tactic and avoids all other controversies surrounding the attack including, but 1 not limited to, Lee’s Sunrise Order, the absence of cavalry, the quality of the reconnaissance, the First Corps’ counter-march, and General James Longstreet’s supposed slow performance.

  • Civil War December 1862
    Civil War December 1862 Highlight: On November 14, Burnside, now in command of the Army of the Potomac, sent a corps to occupy the vicinity of Falmouth near Fredericksburg. The rest of the army soon followed. Lee reacted by entrenching his army on the heights behind the town. On December 11, Union engineers laid five pontoon bridges across the Rappahannock under fire. On the 12th, the Federal army crossed over, and on December 13, Burnside mounted a series of futile frontal assaults on Prospect Hill and Marye’s Heights that resulted in staggering casualties. Meade’s division, on the Union left flank, briefly penetrated Jackson’s line but was driven back by a counterattack. Union generals C. Feger Jackson and George Bayard, and Confederate generals Thomas R.R. Cobb and Maxey Gregg were killed. On December 15, Burnside called off the offensive and recrossed the river, ending the campaign.

  • 168 Kansas History Báxoje in Blue: Ioway Soldiers in the Union Army by Greg Olson
    An 1869 photograph of Iowa chiefs taken in Washington, D.C. Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 40 (Autumn 2017): 168-185 168 Kansas History Báxoje in Blue: Ioway Soldiers in the Union Army by Greg Olson n 1864, there were seventy-eight men between the ages of twenty and forty-five listed on the rolls of the Ioway Nation. Of that number, fifty, or nearly two-thirds, had volunteered to serve in the Union army during the Civil War. 1 Sixteen Ioway men enlisted in the Thirteenth Kansas Volunteer Infantry in 1862, and thirty-two joined the Fourteenth Kansas Volunteer Cavalry in 1863. Seven more joined various other units in Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska. During the war, Ioway soldiers saw action in Tennessee, Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, and the Indian Territory.2 IAlthough the Ioways were certainly not the only Indigenous Americans to serve in the military during the war, the circumstances of their enlistment and their experiences in the army were different from those of most other Native American soldiers in the Trans-Mississippi West. Most Native men served in segregated units, but all fifty Ioways served in integrated units. This article seeks to investigate why the Ioways had the opportunity to serve in regular companies with white men. It also explores the Ioways’ military experiences and addresses some of the obvious questions raised by their willingness to enlist in the army. One wonders, for example, why the Ioways, who had been frustrated by six decades of contentious relations with the United States, chose to send two-thirds of their able-bodied men to fight for the federal government.

    IV CONFEDERATE MILITARY OPERATIONS IN ARKANSAS, 1861-1865 THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By Maurice G. Fortin, Jr. Denton, Texas December, 1978 Fortin, Maurice G. Jr., Confederate Military Operations in Arkansas, 1861-1865. Master of Arts (History), December, 1978, 142 pp., 6 maps, bibliography, 34 titles. Arkansas occupied a key position in the Confederate Trans-Mississippi Department. It offered a gateway for Con- federate troops to move north and secure Missouri for the Confederacy, or for Union troops to move south towards Texas and Louisiana. During the war, Union and Confederate armies moved back and forth across the state engaging in numerous encounters. This paper is a year by year study of those encounters and engagements occurring in Arkansas between 1861 and 1865. Emphasis is necessarily placed on the significant campaigns and engagements. Actions which occurred in adjacent states but which militarily affected Arkansas are also discussed. The majority of the material was compiled from the Official Records.

  • Florida's Civil War Generals
    BIOGRAPHIES OF FLORIDA’S CIVIL WAR GENERALS JAMES PATTON ANDERSON Major-General James Patton Anderson was born in Tennes- see about 1820. Like other en- terprising Americans he lived in so many different sections of the Union that it is a diffi- cult matter to decide to which State he really should be assigned in this record of Confederate generals. At the opening of the Mexi- can war he was living in Mississippi and became lieutenant-colonel of Mississippi volunteers. Al- though he had not had the advantages of an educa- tion at the United States military academy, the Mexi- can conflict proved a good school for him in the military art. The good use he made of his opportu- nities in that practical military training school was afterward evidenced by the skill with which he man- aged troops upon the great arena of war from 1861 to 1865. The man who obtained a good reputation on that great theater of action had to keep abreast of many illustrious men of the same rank with him- self, and that is what General Anderson did. After the close of the Mexican war General Anderson lived for a time in Olympia, in what was then Wash- ington Territory, and served as territorial delegate to the national House of Representatives in 1855. eBooksOnDisk.com eBooksOnDisk.com Before the opening of the Confederate war he had removed to Florida, and as a citizen of Jefferson county he was a member of the secession conven- tion. Feeling, as did most Southern men, that the South was right, he entered heart and soul into the struggle to maintain Southern rights and honor.

Fields of Blood: The Prairie Grove Campaign. University of North Carolina Press, $35.00 ISBN 9780807833155 Revitalizing the Importance of the Prairie Grove Campaign If further proof were needed of William L. Shea’s mastery of the Civil War campaign history, this is it. A professor of history at the University of Arkansas at Monticello, Shea has previously coauthored splendid studies of the Pea Ridge and Vicksburg campaigns. Flying solo this time, he has attained even loftier heights with a thoughtful and meticulous account of Prairie Grove. He has not only examined every facet of that unfairly neglected 1862 campaign, but he has also shown why serious students of the war can ill-afford to ignore either the political or military story of the Trans-Mississippi Theater. Fought in northwest Arkansas on December 7, the battle of Prairie Grove is not the most famous military engagement in American history waged on that date. Even in the context of the Civil War, its strategic significance probably ranks behind the battle of Pea Ridge, fought nine months earlier and a few dozen miles to the north.
