The former chimney of the Rhea Mill now serves as an imposing monument on
the battlefield grounds. This structure originally stood six miles away
from the battlefield, but was dismantled and relocated here after it was
given to the park. The chimney is 55 feet high, contains 700 stones and
weighs an estimated 200,000 pounds |
(5-05) Prairie Grove Battlefield today offers hundreds of acres of
preserved battlefield and both walking and driving tours. Tour Stop One on
both tours is just north of the Hindman Hall parking lot and marks the
spot where the second phase of the battle began on the afternoon of
December 7, 1862, when General James G. Blunt's Federal division attacked
the left side of the Confederate lines. Blunt's attacks were beaten back,
as were Confederate counterattacks |
