(HISTORICAL) -- BATTLE OF WILSON'S CREEK -- At dawn on August 10, 1861, General Nathaniel Lyon launched his surprise attack on the combined Confederate/State Guard camp at Wilson's Creek, Mo. Federal shells lobbed into the cavalry camps to the south caused a panic, effectively opening the way into the Southern rear for General Franz Sigel's brigade. At the north end of the field, the lines eventually solidified west of the Telegraph road atop what came to be known later as "Bloody Hill". There General Lyon was killed and his force of Federals finally defeated after a long, tough fight. To the south near Skegg Branch, Sigel, after initial success, misidentified oncoming Confederate forces as friendlies and his brigade was routed.
