Hindman Hill, the southernmost of four positions fortified by Union forces in June 1863, was attacked at daybreak on July 4, 1863, by the 35th, 37th, and Hawthorn's Arkansas Infantry Regiments under General Fagan, CSA. Thwarted by the strength of the Union defenses, manned by the 43rd Indiana, the 33rd and 35th Missouri, and the 33rd Iowa, Fagan's brigade retreated at 11 A.M. along the Upper Little Rock Road. About 250 men of the 37th Arkansas were captured after failing to receive the signal to withdraw. Total casualties for Fagan's brigade were 47 killed, 115 wounded, and 273 missing.
