Samenvatting
This excellent report has been professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction. This study examines the logistical system that supported the Federal Army of the Southwest in the American Civil War during the Pea Ridge Campaign of January-March, 1862, under the command of Brigadier General Samuel R. Curtis. The Pea Ridge Campaign was carried out along the U.S. frontier of southwestern Missouri and northwestern Arkansas, a sparsely populated region with little economic infrastructure. The forces operating in the region did not have the benefit of railroads or navigable bodies of water. This study concludes that the commander and his quartermasters overcame enormous problems posed by the environment and situation to win the most significant victory in the Trans-Mississippi Theater in the entire Civil War. Creating a logistical system that allowed the Army of the Southwest to extend its operational reach, improve freedom of action, and extend the endurance of the army. Logistics is a rarely explored, but very important, field of study. This study attempts to put the field of logistics in its proper place within the study of military history. Logistics is tied with strategy and tactics; without logistics, victory is not possible.
The American Civil War began when the Confederates fired on Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861. Over the next four years, many great campaigns and battles were fought from First Bull Run all the way through to Appomattox. Men from both sides fought and died, heroes were made and legends were born. In the early part of 1862, across the great Mississippi River, in Missouri and Arkansas, a campaign began. This campaign required considerably smaller amounts of men compared to some of the greater battles that later took place. Yet, the men that took part in that campaign later wrote about how the hardships they endured and what they accomplished were far greater than any other battle they fought. The reason they were able to overcome such hardships was the considerations they made in keeping their force fed, armed, and supplied. This campaign is called the Pea Ridge Campaign.
The Pea Ridge Campaign started in January 1862 and lasted until the Battle of Pea Ridge in March 1862. The battle was fought from 6-8 March 1862. This battle was a decisive victory for Union control of Missouri and northern Arkansas within the Trans-Mississippi Theater. After this victory, the Confederate Army of the West moved east of the Mississippi River, giving control of Missouri to the Federals. With the Federal victory at Pea Ridge, and the Confederate abandonment of Arkansas, the Trans-Mississippi became a military backwater, not nearly as important as the campaigns moving downstream to control the Mississippi River Valley.
