This section will provide insight into the troop numbers relating to the battle.

The Battle of Prairie Grove is not often discussed in conversations about the Civil War. As will soon be explored, Prairie Grove didn’t see the deployment of very many troops by either the Union or the Confederacy, and consequently, didn’t see very many casualties, especially compared to the more well-known Civil War battles. During the Battle of Prairie Grove, the strategies and tactics used by the armies of the Union and the Confederacy were shaped by their different, and occasionally incorrect information about each other’s troop counts.
