DECEMBER 5, 1862:
Near the Boston Mountains, General
Thomas Hindman and his Confederate army of 11,000 have advanced north towards
the Fayetteville area. Gen. Blunt of the
Union army awaits them with 5,000 just south of Cane Hill, building defenses to
block the way of what will surely be the Rebels’ route of advance. But Hindman uses a smaller country road to
head north. Blunt has left only a small
Kansas cavalry regiment to picket that route.
