First to the Guns Battle of Wilson's Creek, August 10, 1861 |
Only three weeks after Bull Run, the first major Civil War battle in the West was fought at Wilson's Creek near Springfield, Missouri. Confederate Colonel James McIntosh, above, led a charge of the Third Louisiana Infantry against a Union battery, an incident that helped turn the battle in the Confederate's favor. A few months later, at Pea Ridge in Arkansas, a Northern army defeated the Southerners and kept Missouri in the Union.
“In the first major battle of the western theatre, a Louisiana brigade, carrying their state 'pelican' flag overran a federal artillery position and helped turn the tide into another victory for the South.”
