Each battle will last less than an hour. We will supply water for both troops and horses. Hay, wood, port-a-poties and ice. There will be period stores available. 

Union troops will be camped in and by the old fort at the Nature Center about 200 yards from the main battlefield while the Confederates will be camped about 100 yards north of the battlefield. The area is right along side the Missouri River. The city of St. Joseph will spray for bugs.

Synopsis:

Saturday, Union supply train leaves Ft. Smith in St. Joseph, heading north along the Missouri River. Confederate troops attack the supply train. Union forces repel the attack.

Sunday, Confederates attack again and take control of the supply train.
