DESCRIPTION: General Franz Sigel played a prominent role at the Battle of Pea Ridge, Arkansas, on March 8, 1862, where Union forces secured a vital victory in the Western Theater. Leading his troops with determination, Sigel directed artillery and infantry attacks that helped drive back the Confederate army. His leadership contributed to the Union’s control of Missouri and bolstered the reputation of German-American soldiers who served in large numbers under his command. The battle was a decisive moment in maintaining Union strength in the border states and solidifying Sigel’s place among the notable Union generals of the war.
