Tour Stop D, Second Battle of Independence, October 1864

After heavy fighting at the Little Blue River on the 21st, Price's Confederate army forced Blunt's cavalry to retreat to the Big Blue River, leaving a rear guard in town. Shelby's Confederates reached town in the late afternoon. After a brisk fight Union troops were driven to the west end of town. Price's army and wagon train then camped in and around Independence. On the 22nd Pleasonton's Union cavalry, pursuing Price from the east, made a mounted charge through town driving Fagan's Confederates to the west.

South, right on Lexington, left on RIver Blvd. to Stop E.
