Description: About six miles south of Trading Post, where the Maraisde Cygnes engagement had occurred, the brigades of Col. Frederick W.Benteen and Col. John F. Phillips, of Maj. Gen. Alfred Pleasonton?sProvisional Cavalry Division, overtook the Confederates as they werecrossing Mine Creek. These Rebels, stalled by their wagons crossingthe ford, had formed a line on the north side of Mine Creek. TheFederals, although outnumbered, commenced the attack as additionaltroops from Pleasonton?s command arrived during the fight. They soonsurrounded the Rebels, resulting in the capture of about 600 men andtwo generals, Brig. Gen. John S. Marmaduke and Brig. Gen. William L.Cabell. Having lost this many men, Price?s army was doomed. Retreat tofriendly territory was the only recourse.
