Hicks' Station in the Civil War

Arkansas, Lonoke County, near Lonoke
Hicks' Station, located on the Memphis & Little Rock Railroad between DeValls Bluff and Huntersville (N Little Rock), guarded the eastern approaches to the capital city. During the Little Rock Campaign, Confederate cavalry used it as a staging area before the Aug. 25, 1863, battle at Brownsville. Union forces set up a field hospital there after the fights at Brownsville and at Reed's Bridge on Aug. 27. Union forces established a permanent presence there, and the Third Michigan Cavalry garrisoned the station, guarding the railroad from C.S.A. raiders.

Brice's Cross Roads

Mississippi, Prentiss County, near Baldwyn
Major General Nathan Bedford Forrest's cavalry had routed Brigadier General Benjamin Grierson's Federal cavalry one-half mile east of the Cross Roads and the Federal infantry that was thrown into battle line one-quarter mile east of the Cross Roads. A strong defense at the Cross Roads by several Union infantry regiments and artillery units allowed the infantry brigades of Colonels Alexander Wilkin and George B. Hoge to retreat west from the Cross Roads up the Ripley Road.

"(At the Cross Roads), in conjunction with the artillery, we maintained our position for more than two hours, a regular stand-up fight,…the enemy making charge after charge in front, only to be driven back by volleys of grape, canister, and musketry. …my command fighting until almost surrounded, the enemy within twenty steps of our guns, we were the last to leave the field that day." —Lt. Col. Andrew W. Rodgers, 81st Illinois Vol. Inf.

The Union defense at the Cross Roads was broken by repeated Confederate charges and by Colonel Barteau's flanking movement and threat to gain the Union rear. "The steady advance of my men and the concentrated, well-directed, and rapid fire from my batteries…threw (the Union) back, and the retreat or rout began." (Forrest)

The 72nd Ohio infantry, the 6th Indiana artillery, and several companies of the 55th United States Colored Infantry (USCI) defended the Tishomingo Creek Bridge along with remnants of retreating Union regiments.

"Before reaching Tishomingo Creek the road was so blockaded with abandoned vehicles of every description that it was difficult to move the artillery forward. Ordering up my horses, they were mounted and the pursuit was then continued and the enemy were driven until dark. He attempted the destruction of his wagons, loaded with ammunition and bacon, but so closely was he pursued that many of them were saved without injury, although the road was lighted for some distance."

"…In the bottom on the south prong of the Hatchie (River) they had abandoned the balance of their wagon train, all their wounded, and 14 pieces of artillery."

"On reaching the town of Ripley, about 8 a.m., the enemy was found in line of battle…and at the first appearance of additional forces he again retreated,…and from this place to the end of their pursuit the enemy offered no organized resistance, but retreated in the most complete disorder, throwing their guns, clothing, and everything calculated to impede his flight."

"This victory may be justly considered one of the most complete of the war, and for it I feel indebted to the valor of my troops…" —Maj. Gen. Nathan B. Forrest, C.S. Army

Mississippi, Prentiss County, near Baldwyn
The bottleneck created by the Tishomingo Creek Bridge and the flanking movement of Confederate Colonel Barteau's 2nd Tennessee regiment almost spelled diaster for Union troops retreating from the Cross Roads in front of Forrest's main force. The steep banks of Tishomingo Creek, the waters of the creek high from days of rain and the confusion of a disorganized retreat that included a supply train of 200 wagons, almost resulted in the loss of the entire Union expeditionary force at this place.

"A shell bursting near where General Grierson and myself were standing gave me the first intimation of defeat, and I immediately galloped to the front to look after the Seventh Illinois, Tenth Missouri and Fourth Iowa Regiments, finding all the way to the bridge an indiscriminate mass of wagons, artillery, caissons, ambulances, and broken, disorganized troops."

"The Fourth Iowa was forced to dismount at the bridge and take position on a small hill at the front to check the enemy while their horses passed the creek. two infantry regiments which were retreating in disorder were by this maneuver saved from destruction or capture." —Colonel Edward F. Winslow, commanding 2nd Cavalry Brigade

Terrain and Landscape

Mississippi, Prentiss County, near Baldwyn
Even as late as 1864, northeast Mississippi was sparsely populated. Just thirty years earlier the whole area had belonged to the Chickasaw Nation, and many of the local white landowners had moved here after 1845. The Bethany Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church, today the lone occupant of the Crossroads, was founded in 1852.

During the 1860s some of the land was used to grow cotton and corn, but much of the area remained wooded with dense underbrush. The battlefield of Brice's Crossroads, therefore, was as much forest as field, which greatly affected how soldiers could fight. Cavalry troops had to leave their horses in the rear and venture into the forest on foot. Soldiers might be just a few yards away from the enemy line and yet not able to see them through the underbrush.

"The day was extremely hot and sultry, the country was largely woodland, the roads very muddy, and the rapid march, under a scorching sun, had a very exhausting effect upon the men." —Sergeant C.F. Macdonald, 9th Minnesota Infantry

The Agnew Diaries
"Tippah Co. Life: When I first came here I was bewildered. Every way I looked I saw woods - no clearing. I saw for the first time bored wells. Saw many things which appeared very strange at first but all have become common place to me now." —Samuel A. Agnew diary. December 15, 1852

Artillery at Log Cabin Ridge

$

Mississippi, Prentiss County, near Baldwyn
As Union troops retreated toward Tishomingo Creek, they faced not only a blocked bridge and a rain-swollen creek, but also deadly cannon fire coming from this ridge. Confederate artillerymen rained fire upon the scrambling Yankees with four field guns—two twelve-pounder howitzers and two three-inch rifles.

The Confederate artillery, led by Captain John W. Morton, played a significant role in this battle at multiple points. Their performance that day was all the more impressive because of the difficulty of maneuvering the guns and caissons through the woods and along primitive, muddy roads. The Confederate artillery continued to pursue and attack the routed Federals across Tishomingo Creek and through the swampy woods, even pushing the guns along by hand.

Each of the two guns in an artillery section was manned by seven soldiers with specific assignments that included swabbing the bore, inserting the ammunition and projectile, sighting (aiming) the gun, preparing the fuses, relaying ammunition from the ammunition chests on the limber and caissons, and pulling the lanyard to fire the weapon.

"The enemy got the range, and dropped shells there and among the wagons, parked on the east side of the creek, with such accuracy as to increase the disorder frightfully" —Captain William Forse Scott, 4th Iowa Cavalry

Nationally renowned sports artist Amadee Wohlschlaeger of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in St. Louis, Missouri, conceptualized and designed "The Boy and The Man" in the form of a drawing in 1963 that was unveiled to the public in the August 18th edition of the Post-Dispatch.

As part of the many honors and gifts presented to Mr. Musial upon his retirement, he was presented with a large, framed lithograph of Amadee's "The Boy and The Man" by Anheuser-Busch, Inc., which is displayed inside the St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame and Museum at Busch Stadium in St. Louis.

Missouri Sports Hall of Fame President and Executive Director Jerald L. Andrews proposed that "The Boy and The Man" statue be on permanent display at the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame.

We are grateful for the many sponsors who have made this statue possible.

Sculptor Harry Weber was chosen to develop the statue. Mr. Weber has constructed the statues of the Cardinals Hall of Famers at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Missouri.

"The Boy and The Man" will serve as the cornerstone attraction on the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame's Legends Walkway and is officially dedicated for the enjoyment of all who visit the museum from this day forward as a way to recognize and honor the career and life of Stan "The Man" Musial, who epitomized the true meaning of what it takes to be called a "Legend" of Missouri sports.
