Hotel Reservations near MINE CREEK

In October, 1864, Union forces attacked retreating Confederates along the banks of Mine Creek in one of the largest cavalry engagements of the Civil War, and the only major battle fought in Kansas. In September of 1864, Confederate General Price, a former Missouri governor, a veteran of the Battles of Lexington, Corinth, Wilson’s Creek and Pea Ridge, and a favorite of his troops, wanted to capture Missouri for the South. Recruiting troops as he swept through Missouri, Price filled his ranks with fresh volunteers and prepared for his invasion. After a few small engagements including a victory and a defeat, Price retreated south down the state line with Union General Curtis and a force of about 10,000 soldiers in pursuit. After crossing into Kansas, Price and his weary troops camped near Trading Post the night of October 24. Before dawn the next day Union troops attacked Price’s and a battle began that would climax around mid-day along the steep sides of rain-swollen Mine Creek. The main ford became a quagmire from the approximate 500 fleeing wagons. About 7,000 of Price's troops were forced to make a stand on the north side of the creek to cover their army’s retreat. After loosing 600 men and two generals to capture by Union forces, Price was forced to retreat. The battle claimed 400-500 dead, mostly Confederates, and led to the end of the war on the western front. The Visitor's Center at Pleasanton, KS displays various Civil War artifacts and battle information.
