Osage Springs- Camp Halleck at Osage Springs
Shortly after the Union Army of the Southwest entered Arkansas in February 1862, three divisions moved to Osage Springs in a bid to trap Confederate troops in their winter quarters. The trap failed, but the soldiers established Camp Halleck, stretching five miles, and monitored Confederate activity. Increasing skirmishing led Union Gen. Samuel Curtis to request reinforcements, which was declined. On March 1, 1862, in response to Confederate movements, Curtis moved the men from Camp Halleck to build fortifications on high ground on Pea Ridge.
