January 22, 1864

The Skirmish at Burrowsville (Searcy County) took place. The skirmish was part of a larger attempt to drive Confederate and guerrilla forces from northern Arkansas. The overall effort was deemed to be a success by Federal commanders, but that success was somewhat embellished in their official reports. While a minor skirmish, this engagement was typical of the fighting that occurred between Union and Confederate forces in this period in northern Arkansas.
