Notes:Subtitle: The Civil War Fight for the Ozarks

Concise history of the campaign and battle of March, 1862, in which the Union Army defeated a larger Confederate army in a two-day battle and secured Missouri and Northern Arkansas for the duration of the Civil War. The Confederates fought hard but were defeated by mismanagement and poor logistics which left their supply train stranded eight miles from the battlefield.

Review - Battle of Pea Ridge, The
