A propos de cet article

On Sunday, December 7, 1862, two armies collided at an obscure Arkansas hamlet named Prairie Grove in a desperate battle that effectively ended Confederate offensive operations west of the Mississippi River. In Fields of Blood, historian William L. Shea provides a gripping narrative of the events surrounding Prairie Grove, one of the great unsung battles of the Civil War. Based on a twelve-year search of archives and newspapers and a painstaking examination of historic roads and battlefields in Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma, the book offers a colorful account of a grueling campaign that lasted five months and covered hundreds of miles of rugged Ozark terrain. Shea provides a fascinating analysis of the personal, geo-graphical, and strategic elements that led to the fateful clash in northwest Arkansas, describing a campaign marked by rapid marching, bold movements, hard fighting, and the most remarkable raid of the Civil War. One army was led by Thomas C. Hindman, a zealous secessionist who had single-handedly revived the Confederate war effort in the Trans-Mississippi. The other was headed by James G. Blunt, a brash Kansas abolitionist who liked nothing better than personally leading his troops into battle, pistol in hand. After months of intricate maneuvering punctuated by five battles in three states, the armies met one last time at Prairie Grove. The costly daylong struggle was a tactical draw but a key strategic victory for the Union, as the Confederates never again seriously attempted to recover Missouri or threaten Kansas. Historians have long ignored the complex campaign that ended in such spectacular fashion at Prairie Grove, but it is at last brought to life in these pages.
