OCTOBER 25TH AND THE BATTLE OF MINE CREEK. Edited by Dan L. Smith.
1977 1st Textual photos, illustrations, and maps, including one folding. Kansas City, MO: The Lowell Press, 1977. First edition. ISBN 0913504408. Excellent history of the Battle of Mine Creek (October 25, 1864), also known as the Battle of the Osage, the only Civil War battle fought in Kansas between uniformed troops, and one that involved large forces of cavalry on both sides. About six miles south of Trading Post, where the Marais de Cygnes engagement had occurred, the brigades of Col. Frederick W. Benteen and Col. John F. Phillips, of Maj. Gen. Alfred Pleasonton's Provisional Cavalry Division, overtook the Confederates as they were crossing Mine Creek. These Rebels, stalled by their wagons crossing the ford, had formed a line on the north side of Mine Creek. The Federals, although outnumbered, commenced the attack as additional troops from Pleasonton's command arrived during the fight. They soon surrounded the Rebels, resulting in the capture of about 600 men and two generals, Brig. Gen. John S. Marmaduke and Brig. Gen. William L. Cabell. Bookplate. A bit of fading along the spine of the dust jacket; otherwise a crisp, very good copy.
