The Federal Army, trying desperately to get back to the safety of Little Rock, having marched toward Louisiana in support of the Union’s failed invasion of Texas was running out of food and supplies. Union General Frederick Steele knew he had to get his army back to the safety of Little Rock if they were to survive. In hot pursuit of the Federals were thousands of Confederates under command of General Edmund Kirby Smith. Their mission: destroy the Union Army at all cost. Offers welcomed and appreciated
