Battle of Pea Ridge

Cat. #0012 (MFH #23) - As sung by Mrs. Allie Long Parker, Eureka Springs, Arkansas on January 14, 1958

At Springfield and Carthrage
A many hero fell
At Lexington and Drywood
As near th truth can tell
But such another cornage
As did I ever see
Happened at old Pea Ridge
Near th Indian Territory

Allie Long Parker said this was all she could remember of this song now. Maybe later she could remember the rest of it.
