Prairie D' Ane, Arkansas (Part of the Red River Campaign)

From the American Battlefield Trust April 2021 calendar.

PRAIRIE D' ANE, ARKANSDAS

811 acres saved.

I'd never heard of this battle or expedition/campaign.

The heavy skirmishing at Prairie D'Ane on April 12, 1864, was the high water mark of Major General Frederick Steele's Camden Expedition.

In 2018, the trust and numerous partners, including the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program and the National Park Service's American Battlefield Protection Program, worked together to save 811 acres of the site of this engagement.

The Nevada County Depot and Museum will steward and interpret this important piece of the Red River Campaign.
