Gorgeous views and great preservation. The Battle of Prairie Grove (Dec 7, 1862; near Fayetteville, Arkansas) was the last time two armies of almost equal strength faced each other for control of northwest Arkansas and Missouri. Union forces, led by Generals James G. Blunt and Francis Herron, clashed with Confederate troops under Gen. Thomas C. Hindman. Hindman moved towards Blunt's division in order to attack while it was isolated. However, Blunt was reinforced by Herron, leading Hindman to take a defensive position on some high ground known as Prairie Grove. Herron attempted to assault Hindman's lines twice, but both were repulsed. Eventually, both sides disengaged and the fighting reached an inconclusive result. However, the unavailability of reinforcements forced Hindman's army to retreat from the field during nightfall. The battle ended in a draw, but the Confederates had to retreat, giving the Union control of the area.
