	Civil War Battle History of The Canden Expedition in Arkansas
		In what became the standard procedure during the Camden Expedition, the Confederate cavalry attacked, the Federals brought up units to drive the Confederates back, the Confederates withdrew, regrouped, and started again.
		The supply base of Camden was forty miles away, on the Ouachita River.
		Camden did not have enough food to feed 12,000 very hungry soldiers, their supply animals, or the numerous speculators, refugees and other hangers-on an army always accumulates.

		The story of the four days of fighting on Prairie De Ann is a part of the story of the expedition of the Union forces into Southern Arkansas in the spring of 1864.
		The Confederates evidently expected them to choose the last of these three routes, because it was on the western and the southern edges of the prairie that they had spent most of their labor in building fortification.

		The principal details of the intended expedition had been fully considered, and in a great measure arranged, in the Colonial department, before the application was made to Park; and he had therefore flattered himself that the business was in a state of considerable forwardness.
		In the course of Park's communications with the Colonial Office, Lord Camden had intimated a desire to be furnished with a written statement of Park's opinions, both as to the plan of the expedition, and the particular objects towards which he conceived that his attention ought to be chiefly directed during the intended journey.
		For some time nothing farther was heard of the expedition; but in the course of the year 1806 unfavourable accounts were brought by the native traders from the interior of Africa to the British settlements on the coast; and it was currently reported, but upon no distinct authority, that Park and his companions were killed.

	Military Battle at Mt. Elba
		The expedition to Mount Elba began on March 27, 1864 when the Federal forces under Colonel Powell Clayton left the post at Pine Bluff on its mission to attack the Confederate forces commanded by Brigadier General Thomas P. Dockery camped at Monticello.
		In early December, in and around Camden there were many boys who had reached the age of military service, some men past 45 whom the late conscript law required to be enrolled and quite a number of soldiers who belonged to commands east of the Mississippi who were home on furlough.
		At daylight on the morning of the 29th, Colonel Clayton left all the infantry, three pieces of artillery and one squadron of cavalry with the train at Mount Elba under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Marks with instructions to hold the bridge and observe the enemy in the direction of Monticello.

		One important exception is the Arkansas expedition led by Major General Frederick Steele in the spring of 1864.
		Various sources have referred to the expedition as "Steele's Arkansas Expedition" or the "Red River Expedition" which refers to a coordinated movement by Federal troops in Louisiana.
		We have opted for the title "Camden Expedition," which appears to be how most historians have referred to the operation.

		The expedition was intended to penetrate to Boggy Depot, C. N., and was to co-operate with a force from Fort Gibson, C. N., under command of Col. Wm.
		The great final scenes of the war were now closing in upon us, and their occurrence rendered the expedition of General Blunt unnecessary, and also made it possible for a portion of the troops intended to accompany it to be mustered out of the United States service.
		While mounted, the men were almost constantly in the saddle, for they entered the service at a time when the power and force of the rebellion seemed to have culminated, and when our troops were kept in ceaseless activity to prevent any advantage from being taken by an unscrupulous foe.

		He also felt that Camden would be a likely point to mount an expedition from Arkansas.
		He was deep in enemy territory, short and running out of supplies, the local populance was less than cooperative, greatly resenting the presence of negro troops in his command.
		However he wrote "If we had been supplied at Camden, I could have held the place against Kirby Smith's entire force...." One is tempted to point out that the idea was to defeat Kirby Smith.

		Even though the Union troops were in command of Camden from April 15 to April 26, large-scale battles in the area continued.
		Yet, even though the expedition itself was a disaster from the Union point of view, there were some Union successes, and the skirmish at Longview in Ashley County was one of those successes.
		The events at Longview were contrary to the general trend of Steele's whole expedition in that Longview was a defeat for the Confederate forces.

	Chevert Expedition
		Funded and organised by William John Macleay in 1875, the expedition aimed to collect and document the natural environment of New Guinea.
		For Macleay the expedition was a means to expand and improve his natural history collections in order to promote the study of science in Sydney.
		The expedition had coincided with (and partly sprang from) a general preoccupation in Sydney with Australia’s future relations with New Guinea, a land which was still little known among western explorers.

	Food of the Conquistadors
		Although the expedition would live off the land, or more particularly off Indian stockpiles, as much as possible, the conquistadors brought with them a large quantity of European and adopted Caribbean style staples.
		Of course by the time Soto’s army had crossed the Mississippi river two years into the expedition there would have been none of that food left (well except maybe for the piece of ship’s biscuit at the bottom of your bullet bag that you were saving for later).
		A few companions ate herbs with which we were not familiar, and these were the worst off of all; and they reached the point where it was thought that they would not escape with their lives, and [yet] God saw fit to allow them [i.e.

		It has been truly said that this was the bright spot in the expedition and that no more brilliant exploit than this was accomplished by our forces during the whole war." It was a trying ordeal to the undisciplined and untried militia and marines, but they exhibited the resolute courage of the American soldier.
		The Bagaduce expedition was such a subject of obloquy and remark that the General Court appointed a committee of investigation into the cause of its failure.
		The total cost of the expedition is said to have been £1,739,174:11s.4d., and it came at a time when the finances of the colonies were at a very low ebb, and there was very little prospect of the independence of the country.
