Prairie D'Ane AR013

supportedunresolved Britton says Price, still believing Steele meant to reach Washington, learned on the morning of the 13th that the Union army had turned for Camden, and that he had been deceived as to Steele's intentions. Price says he found on the 13th that Steele had fallen back in the night toward Camden.

Attributed knowledge from a history and an interested report.

supportedunresolved Britton says the Terre Rouge bottom was impassable for trains until corduroyed and that the rear division floundered across it all night after the Moscow fight, in which the Second Indiana Battery fired 210 solid shot and shell. Price says his pursuit was hampered by distance, scarcity of forage and exhausted horses.

Road and supply conditions from a history and an interested report; no return.

supportedunresolved Price says he withdrew from the prairie to draw Steele beyond it where he could attack at a disadvantage and take the train. Britton says the Union line advanced on the 12th to carry the works by assault before Steele turned Price's left and marched for Camden. NPS says the fighting diverted Steele from Shreveport toward Camden.

Stated aims from an interested report, a history and a summary.

disputedpost_outcome The frozen result reads Union victory and the live result Union Victory. Price says he withdrew from the prairie by design, and that at Moscow Dockery took and lost a section of artillery before the enemy retreated in the night. Britton says Price abandoned his works without resistance and the Moscow attackers were driven from the field and pursued about three miles.

Retain the original result and engagement interval; later movements and campaign contribution are different measures. No new probabilities or individual causal credit. The march into Camden is campaign context.

disputedpost_outcome The frozen casualty text reads Unknown; the live field reads 150 (US 100; CS 50). Price reports very trifling loss on April 10 and some loss at Moscow, and claims one Union gun dismounted; Britton says the Moscow attack was driven off with heavy loss. No inspected passage gives a figure.

Original casualty returns were not inspected; preserve totals, categories, cutoffs and differences. No canonical reconciliation or casualty-based opening count; related actions must not be added without resolving population overlap. The live figures have no inspected basis.

supportedunresolved Price says he took the field in person on April 5; Britton says Price commanded in person behind his works and that Steele with Rice's brigade and cavalry turned his left; Price says Dockery led the Moscow attack, and NPS says Price fell on Thayer's rear guard. The frozen commanders are Major Generals Sterling Price and Frederick Steele, as on the live page.

Command roles from an interested report, a history and a summary; the listed commanders do not receive automatic sole credit.

No inspected return establishes matched personnel at a common opening boundary. The frozen side-specific numerical strength bounds are blank (missing_numeric_strength). No figure in this pass is adopted as a simultaneous opening force.

disputedunresolved The frozen force field reads Department of Arkansas [US] and District of Arkansas [CS]; the live field reads zero. Price says Thayer's command joined Steele with 5,500 men and ten guns on April 6; on the Confederate side Gano's brigade (500) had reinforced Marmaduke on the prairie, and Tandy Walker's brigade of about 1,000 came up with Maxey before the April 13 Moscow attack; he says Thayer's rear guard at Moscow was some 3,000 with ten guns. Britton says Thayer's division was about five thousand with twelve field guns and two howitzers.

Interested and retrospective estimates of components on different days; no return. None is adopted as a matched opening strength. The live zero is not measured absence.

supportedunresolved Price says Marmaduke stood at the west end of the prairie behind rude and imperfect entrenchments, and that Thayer at Moscow was strongly posted in a skirt of timber on the prairie's edge. Britton describes Confederate rifle-pits nearly a mile long with log breastworks on the flanks, and the Camden road junction on the prairie in front of them.

Works and ground from an interested report and a history; the works predate the April 12 advance but their builders' timing is not established.
