This is a view from the Confederate positions atop the ridge near the Borden House, looking out across the prairie. Federal troops deployed in line of battle across the level land below and then made repeated charges up the hill

Heavy fighting raged around the Borden House and adjacent orchard. Federal officers estimated that as many as 250 men were killed in a 100-yard radius of the house. Federal troops charged up the ridge and past the house into the orchard, only to find themselves cut to pieces by well-positioned Confederate infantry. The house was burned at the end of the battle, but was rebuilt on the same foundations after the war

This is a better view of the Borden Orchard, which has been replanted with apple trees and restored to some of its Civil War-era view. The 37th Illinois and 26th Indiana penetrated into the orchard, but were annihilated by waiting Confederates who drove them back down the hill

This is a view looking east from the Borden House to the right flank of the Confederate line. This section of the field was held by Colonel Jo Shelby's hard-fighting cavalry
