(HISTORICAL) -- BATTLE OF CARTHAGE 7pm -- By evening, the exhausted State Guardsmen had driven Sigel over the Spring River and into Carthage itself. After a short fight, Sigel took up a strong position on the high ground east of town along the River Road. Exhausted and disorganized, the State Guard forces were unable to crack this final line, allowing Sigel to retreat to Sarcoxie relatively unmolested. (Note: The high fatigue and losses on the Southern side are due to straggling and disorganization not actual combat)
