This article tells the story of what one academic has described as the "worst war crime ever committed on Arkansas soil". On April 18, a Union wagon train was ambushed by Confederate cavalry. Despite the sounds of the battle being audible at the main Union camp, no assistance was sent. The battle then devolves into racially motivated butchery. While not as well-known as the [[Fort Pillow Massacre]] or the [[Lawrence Massacre]], this is still one of the most infamous war crimes of the American Civil War.
