DECEMBER 3, 1862:
General
James Blunt, the Union Commander near Cane Hill, Arkansas receives word that
25,000 Rebels are planning to attack his position; however, unbeknownst to him,
there are only 11,000 in the area, no more than at the Battle of Cane Hill.
Believing he is outnumbered 5-to-1, Blunt behaves unlike General George B.
McClellan: He orders his men to go on the offensive.
