Sunday February 23 – Backs to the Wall: The Battle of Mine Creek
Andrew Regiec, Gettysburg National Military Park
As Sherman marched to the sea and Lee defended Richmond, Virginia, Confederate General Sterling Price invaded Missouri. Price was checked by the United States Army at nearly every turn, eventually being driven back toward Arkansas. The weather hindered Price's retreat, and a small Union force caught up with over 7,000 Confederates at Mine Creek, Kansas. What ensued dashed Confederate hopes of victory in the West.
Lectures will be held Saturdays and Sundays at 1:30 p.m.
