The Battle of Prairie Grove is one historical event with many twists and turns. While researching the tactics and combat of the USA, we constantly changed our position and/or ideas of how this battle ended and how it should have ended. Within this exhibit, you will see and view the time, the power, and the knowledge that came with and was put into the Union's fight during Battle of Prairie Grove. We believe the battle was a tactical and mostly equal duel, where both sides wanted to one up the other and gain the high ground, but here is where General Blunt chose to put his foot forward and think intelligentlly for himself, his army, and for the Union. This will be the first thing you see; General Blunt and his mindset (aka his tactics). What was he thinking? Why did he pull the moves and tactics he did? How did the combat of the Union affect the battle? What role did supporting troops play?
