The Battle of Prairie Grove (Dec 7, 1862; near Fayetteville, Arkansas) was the last time two armies of almost equal strength faced each other for control of northwest Arkansas and Missouri. Union forces, led by Generals James G. Blunt and Francis Herron, clashed with Confederate troops under Gen. Thomas C. Hindman. Hindman moved towards Blunt's division in order to attack while it was isolated. However, Blunt was reinforced by Herron, leading Hindman to take a defensive position on some high ground known as Prairie Grove. Herron attempted to assault Hindman's lines twice, but both were repulsed. Eventually, both sides disengaged and the fighting reached an inconclusive result. However, the unavailability of reinforcements forced Hindman's army to retreat from the field during nightfall. The battle ended in a draw, but the Confederates had to retreat, giving the Union control of the area.

It's a great place to go for a walk if you want to feel like you're really out in nature without having to leave the city. Beautiful all year round and I hardly ever run into lots of people out here. There's two entrances to the preserve, one at the Sam's Club on highway 112 if you park on the southern edge of the parking lot and the other's along Deane Solomon Rd, there's a few parking spots along N Floral Court and then you'll walk a very short distance north along Deane Solomon and you'll see the entrance. There are bike racks at either entrance to the park because there's no bikes or dogs allowed in the preserve due to the sensitivity of the trails since it's a wet prairie and the goal of the preserve is to maintain the ecosystem in the best possible condition for wildlife and native flora.

It can become crowded, and I have noticed it used for overnight accommodation on at least one occasion. The park rests between Gregg Street and the creek, but crossing the creek one gets to a secluded area once used as a figure eight extension of the trail. It is a perfect area for getting up to some larceny, and I once, taking an early morning stroll, noticed a filthy mattress deposited there. Still, if one stays to the playground, perhaps just stopping off for lunch or something, one can forget that one is mere yards from who-knows-who doing who-knows-what. Most of us live in oblivion anyway.
