CROSS HOLLOWS
- = + = -
This post office was established in 1843
Nov. 29, 1861, Gen. Ben McCulloch moved his
army into winter quarters here. Numerous,
large, two-room, plank barracks were built
in two rows facing each other, extending
eastward more than a mile. Ten or twelve
thousand soldiers wintered here.
Feb. 22, 1862, the Union army of Gen. Curtis
entered Cross Hollows to find abandoned
barracks and commissary stores still smouldering.
Curtis pitched his tent near McGarrah's house.
His soldiers tented east, and south to Mud
Town. March 4, Curtis moved the army into
battle line north of Little Sugar Creek.
