Arkansas: Prairie Grove Battlefield

In between the screams from the child who wanted to push his own stroller, but could not safely do so on downhill slopes, we had a lovely time walking through Prairie Grove battlefield.

It was my first time to walk a Civil War battlefield and it was fascinating to be able to see the terrain while reading descriptions of the battle.

The North won, but it was close. Having the hill certainly helped until the South left the hill to pursue the retreating army.

There were also buildings (a church, school, houses) to look at as well as haystacks to run through.
