I have recently visited the battle sites near Springfield MO and Pea Ridge AR, connected actions by forces noted in this edition of the NYT. It was interesting to see the topography and relief of the areas as it related to the battles. One of the historical interpretation signboards said the area was less forested in the 1860s than now.
