Mine Creek KS003

supportedunresolved Price says he expected any encounter to come in his front or on his right, and first learned of the attack from Marmaduke's note with Fagan's indorsement that he would support him. Britton says Fagan halted to support Marmaduke on learning he was closely pressed.

Attributed knowledge from an interested report and a history; no message log inspected.

supportedunresolved Britton says many Confederates carried infantry rifles that could not easily be reloaded on horseback, and that Greene reported over two thirds of his men threw away or lost their arms. Price says the routed divisions had thrown away their arms.

Weapons and losses of arms from a history and an interested report; no ordnance return.

supportedunresolved Price says he had called Shelby back to attack Fort Scott, where he understood 1,000 Black troops were under arms, then sent him to the rear to support Fagan and Marmaduke. Britton says the Confederate commanders decided it was too critical to dismount.

Stated aims from an interested report and a history.

supportedpost_outcome The frozen and live results read Union victory. Price says he met Fagan's and Marmaduke's divisions retreating in utter confusion; Britton says the Confederate line gave way in the wildest confusion.

Retain the original result and engagement interval; later movements and campaign contribution are different measures. No new probabilities or individual causal credit.

disputedpost_outcome The frozen casualty text reads 1,300 total (US 100; CS 1,200); the live field reads 950 (US 150; CS 800), and NPS says about 600 men and two generals were captured. Price says Marmaduke, Cabell and Slemons were captured with 300 or 400 men and all five guns; his November 2 synopsis says several guns and 300 to 400 prisoners. Britton says Philips's brigade took Marmaduke, Cabell, over 400 men and four guns and Benteen's four guns and many prisoners.

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.

supportedunresolved Britton says Philips deployed the First Brigade and ordered the charge with Benteen's Fourth Brigade on his left; NPS credits the brigades of Benteen and Phillips of Pleasonton's division. Price says he rode back and tried in vain to rally the routed divisions. The frozen commanders are Brigadier General John S. Marmaduke, Major General James F. Fagan and Major General Alfred Pleasonton; the live page lists Pleasonton and Marmaduke.

Command roles from a history, a summary and an interested report; no 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.

supportedunresolved The frozen force field reads Provisional cavalry division and cavalry division; the live field reads zero. NPS says the Federals were outnumbered. Price quotes Marmaduke's note that the enemy, 3,000 strong, was in sight of his rear with lines still extending. Britton says Philips saw two Confederate divisions in line supported by eight guns, that Benteen's brigade came up on his left, and that Sanborn's brigade had dropped back to rest.

A reported sighting, unit identifications and a qualitative statement; no count at the charge. None is adopted as a matched opening strength. The live zero is not measured absence.

supportedunresolved NPS says the Confederates, stalled by their wagons at the ford, formed on the north side of Mine Creek. Britton says the creek had precipitous banks and no good wagon fords near the main crossing, which the halted train blocked, and that the four miles from the Marais des Cygnes were broad smooth prairie.
