Special 150th Anniversary Confederate Sunset
“At dusk on March 7, 3,000 men of the Missouri State Guard charged across
Samuel Ruddick’s cornfield hoping to break the union line along the south edge of
the field. Although the Federals had recently retreated from the fighting at Elkhorn
Tavern, they had regrouped, reinforced and soon proved they had some fight left in
them as they mowed down the charging confederates with musket and artillery
blasts. The stunned Missouri State guardsmen fell back to the opposite side of the
field as darkness covered the battlefield.
At this point Curtis had managed to turn his entire army around 180 degrees,
the only time in American history where an entire army had accomplished such a
feat. Although Curtis had served in the Mexican War, he had never personally lead
troops into battle. Now he seized his chance. He ordered Colonel Eugene Carr to
retake all the ground that was lost during the fight for Elkhorn Tavern. Curtis led
these troops across Ruddick’s field and struck the confederates before they could
reform. The Federals managed to push the Missouri State Guard back through the
woods for several hundred yards before darkness made continuing the attack a
dangerous proposition. All through the night the Army of the Southwest moved to
take up positions ready for the battle to renew March 8.”
