The Skirmish at Boggs’ Mills took place. A short engagement in rural Yell County, this skirmish is notable for pitting Arkansas Confederate troops against a combined Federal force consisting of both white and African American troops from Arkansas. While just a brief engagement that did not cause any casualties, this skirmish was typical of the encounters between Union and Confederate forces in Arkansas during this period.
