| Post subject: | Commemoration of Battle of Carthage, Missouri on July 9 |
The Battle of Carthage, fought on July 5, 1861, was one of the earliest engagements in the Civil War. The battle pitted the Missouri State Guard, a pro-Southern force under the command of Claiborne Fox Jackson, against a Union regiment under the command of Col. Franz Sigel. The historic site includes the Carter Spring area, where Sigel's troops camped on the night of July 4, 1861. The July 9 event is being held in conjunction with City of Carthage's Civil War Commemoration Ceremony, which features events throughout the town. http://articles.kspr.com/2011-06-28/his ... e_29715208 |
