Lexington I Battlefield Missouri

Map of battlefield core and study areas. The ABPP revised the 1993 Study Area to include the Confederate approach route from the Old Fair Grounds, the area around Machpelah Cemetery, the location of Price’s headquarters, and the areas in which the Confederate army maneuvered. The ABPP expanded the 1993 Core Area to include the locations of the Confederate batteries on the heights and in town that bombarded the Federal fortifications. A second, new Core Area was drawn around Machpelah Cemetery. Here Union pickets stood their ground against Price’s cavalry and infantry while the Union defenders completed their entrenchments at College Hill. When Price’s artillery arrived, the Union pickets fell back to the finished works.
