As Gen. Curtis moved up the hill to the west, Gen. Blunt moved south from Brush Creek through the woods to Loose Park. He drove the Confederates from a stone fence along 51st St. and formed a line there at 11:00 a.m., Oct. 23, 1864, running east and west from Oak St. to the Bent House and south 500 yds. McLain's Colo. Battery of parrott guns was in Wornall Lane, and the 9th Wisc. Battery was 100 ft to the west. Thirty Union guns were in line. Attacks were made until noon, when the Confederates were pushed south to the Wornall House.
