Winter Lecture Series: Backs to the Wall

Gettysburg National Military Park’s Winter Lecture Series continues on Sunday February 23rd with Backs to the Wall: The Battle of Mine Creek presented by 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.
