The Battle of Mine Creek, also known as the Battle of Osage, was fought on October 25, 1864, in Linn County, Kansas as part of Price's Missouri Expedition during the Civil War. Confederate General Sterling Price had begun an expedition in September 1864 to restore Confederate control of Missouri. After being defeated at the Battle of Westport near Kansas City, Missouri on October 23, Price's army began to retreat south through Kansas. Early on October 25, Price's army was defeated at the Battle of Marais des Cygnes. After Marais des Cygnes, the Confederates fell back, but were stalled at the crossing of Mine Creek while a wagon train attempted to cross.

Union cavalry commanded by Colonel John F. Phillips and Lieutenant Colonel Frederick W.

Benteen caught up to Price's army while it was stalled at the creek crossing. Confederate cavalry commanded by Major General James F. Fagan and Brigadier General John S.

Marmaduke attempted to defend against the Union assault, but were soundly defeated. Many Confederate soldiers were captured, including Marmaduke. Later on the 25th, Price was again defeated at the Battle of Marmiton River.

After this battle, Price destroyed many of his wagons. On October 28, the Union defeated Price again at the Second Battle of Newtonia, and the shattered Confederate army reached Texas in December. Mine Creek is considered to be one of the largest battles between mounted cavalry during the war. In addition to the text of the book, it also has five Appendices. Appendix I is Organization of the Opposing Armies (providing a detailed Order of Battle for each side).

Appendix II provides a Cavalry Table of Organization for both Union and Confederate forces. Appendix III provides the Strength of Union and Confederate Troops at Mine Creek. Appendix IV provides Casualty information for both sides.

Appendix V provides Definitions and General Principles from the Cavalry Tactics manual used during the Civil War. Appendix VI provides Cavalry Tactics related to "the Charge" from the Cavalry tactics manual.
