Often relegated to the status of
preliminary affair to the larger Battle of
Prairie Grove, the Battle of Cane Hill
(Canehill) was a significant encounter
in its own right.
Fought across an estimated 12 miles
of fields, woods, ravines and
mountain tops, the November 28,
1862, battle erupted when 5,000
Federals attacked three brigades of
Confederate cavalry on the Cane Hill
ridge in southern Washington County.
