The Successes and Failures of General Sterling Price’s Raid through Missouri (recorded 09/11/2014)

The Battle of Fort Davidson, also known as the Battle of Pilot Knob, was the opening engagement of General Sterling Price's Missouri Raid during the Civil War. On the morning of September 27, 1864, a force led by Price attacked the installation, just outside of Pilot Knob in Iron County. Although outnumbered by more than ten-to-one, the Union defenders held off repeated Confederate assaults and slipped away during the night. Walter E. Busch, natural resources manager for the Fort Davidson State Historic Site and a prolific author on Price and the Battle of Pilot Knob, leads the audience through this and other intriguing events associated with the general’s historic raid through Missouri.
