Newtonia I
September 30, 1862
Estimated Casualties: 345 total (US 245; CS 100)
Description: Although the Confederates won the battle, they were unable to maintain themselves in the area given the
great numbers of Union troops. Most Confederates retreated into northwest Arkansas. The 1862 Confederate victories in southwestern Missouri at Newtonia and elsewhere were the South’s apogee in the area; afterwards, the only Confederates
in the area belonged to raiding columns.
