FROM TODAY'S FEATURED ARTICLE

James G. Blunt, the Union commander

The Battle of Van Buren was fought at Van Buren, Arkansas, on December 28, 1862,
during the American Civil War. After winning the Battle of Prairie Grove on
December 7, Union brigadier generals James G. Blunt (pictured) and Francis J.
Herron prepared for a raid against the Confederate positions at Van Buren and
Fort Smith. The Union troops struck an outlying Confederate cavalry unit north
of Van Buren the morning of December 28. The Confederate cavalry fled to Van
Buren, which was then overrun by Union troops. The Union pursued and captured
three steamboats, Confederate troops, and many supplies; two more steamboats and
more supplies were destroyed by the Confederates. An artillery duel occurred at
Van Buren and there was minor skirmishing further downriver after nightfall.
After the battle, Confederate major general Thomas C. Hindman withdrew his men
to Little Rock and the Union force returned from the raid. The battles of
Prairie Grove and Van Buren broke Confederate strength in the region.
