SEPTEMBER 10, 1863:     

The Battle of Bayou Fourche (The Battle of Little Rock). In a two-pronged attack,  15,000 Union troops scatter 7,500 Confederates defending Little Rock, Arkansas. After a brutal artillery bombardment, the surviving Confederates disperse or surrender, and the city capitulates, becoming yet another Rebel State capital to be restored to the Union.
