I've lived in the Kansas City area for nearly seven years, and I've heard the name of the battle a few times. Now I've got to go there and see the place. This was quite a combat for such small forces, and with high casualty numbers on both sides. This article was quite good, and should inspire some to undertake it as a wargame. |
