Remembering The Battle of Carthage - Paperback

by John T. Hacker (Author)

On May 13 and 14, 2011 the city of Carthage and Battle of Carthage Inc., hosted a huge reenactment of what we locally call the first true land battle of the Civil War, the July 5, 1861 Battle of Carthage.

As the city and Battle of Carthage Inc., prepare to hold another reenactment to mark the 160th anniversary of the Battle of Carthage, we present this book to remember the reenactment of 2011 and the history behind that event.

Updated with the story of the burial of Raphael Rombauer, a Civil War officer who fought in the trans-Mississippi theater under Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, we present this book in honor of the 160th Anniversary Reenactment of The Battle of Carthage, May 21 and 22, 2022.
