		It is probable that the modern estimate of the sea-power of Carthage is much exaggerated.
		Judged by every visible sign of strength, Carthage, the richer, the more enter-prising, ethnically the more predominant among her neighbours, and apparently the more nautical, seemed sure to win in the great struggle with Rome which, by the conditions of the case, was to be waged largely on the water.

		The fight at Carthage had all the odds for fame stacked against it: it took place in southwestern Missouri, far from the capitals and centers, with no reporters or big newspapers at hand.

		It has all of the elements necessary for a proper treatment of a battle: numerous maps showing terrain and troop deployments, a reasonably thorough order of battle, discussion of events leading up to the battle and the events immediately thereafter, along with detailed re-telling of the action based on surviving records.
		Another feature which I appreciated was the short section describing the after battle exploits of notable figures in the book.

		It was followed by the rest of Colonel Sigel's troops and the whole command preceded by the train, marched back to Carthage followed by the enemy at a respectful distance, and with the exception of the dispute at the crossing of Buck's Branch, which resulted in some sputtering of musketry, our whole retreat was unmolested.
		We had marched twenty miles from Neosho to Carthage on July 4th, eighteen miles from Carthage to Dry Fork Creek, and return, besides the maneuvering on the battlefield, and fifteen miles to Sarcoxie on July 5th, with twenty-five miles to Mt. Vernon on July 6th, making 85 miles of marching, with a battle thrown in.
		From a military point of view, the battle of Carthage was a very insignificant one, but it will always retain a great deal of historical interest, as being one of the very first very first passages of arms between Federal and Confederate troops in our great Civil War.

	H-Net Review: Wolfgang Hochbruck on The Battle of Carthage: Border War in ...
		However, there was a smaller-scale battle more than two weeks earlier, and its impact, though hardly noticeable in Washington or Richmond, was certainly felt in the Trans-Mississippi theater of the war.
		It was fought between pre-confederate Missouri State Guardsmen on the one side and predominantly German Union volunteers on the other, and few of the men present rose to larger fame.
		In light of the scattered, problematic, missing, and often contradictory evidence available, to research an early Western theater battle like this one is no minor undertaking, and Hinze and Farnham make a remarkable job of it.
