This week we have another short episode before things pick back up for next week's episode. After the Confederate defeat at Prairie Grove, they fell back to Van Buren. There, on December 28th, 1862, the Union looked to push them out of there as well and secure the region. We end the episode with a short battle at Parker's Cross Roads Dec. 31st, where Union BG Jerimiah C. Sullivan attempted to cut Confederate forces off from withdrawing across the Tennessee river.
