  • The Battle of Wilson's Creek, also known as the Battle of Oak Hills, was fought on August 10, 1861, near Springfield, Missouri, between Union forces and the Missouri State Guard, early in the American Civil War. It was the first major battle of the war west of the Mississippi River and is sometimes called the "Bull Run of the West. " Brig. Gen. Nathaniel Lyon's Army of the West was camped at Springfield, Missouri, with Confederate troops under the commands of Brig. Gen. Benjamin McCulloch approaching. On August 9, both sides formulated plans to attack the other. About 5:00 a.m. on August 10, Lyon, in two columns commanded by himself and Col. Franz Sigel, attacked the Confederates on Wilson's Creek about 12 miles (19 km) southwest of Springfield. Rebel cavalry received the first blow and fell back away from Bloody Hill. Confederate forces soon rushed up and stabilized their positions. The Confederates attacked the Union forces three times that day but failed to break through the Union line. Lyon was killed during the battle and Major Samuel D. Sturgis replaced him. Meanwhile, the Confederates had routed Sigel's column, south of Skegg's Branch. Following the third Confederate attack, which ended at 11:00 a.m. , the Confederates withdrew. Sturgis realized, however, that his men were exhausted and his ammunition was low, so he ordered a retreat to Springfield. The Confederates were too disorganized and ill-equipped to pursue. This Confederate victory buoyed southern sympathizers in Missouri and served as a springboard for a bold thrust north that carried Price and his Missouri State Guard as far as Lexington. In late October, a rump convention, convened by Governor Claiborne Fox Jackson, met in Neosho and passed out an ordinance of secession. Wilson's Creek, the most significant 1861 battle in Missouri, gave the Confederates control of southwestern Missouri.

  • ウィルソンズ・クリークの戦い（ウィルソンズ・クリークのたたかい、英:Battle of Wilson's Creek、またはオークヒルズの戦い、英:Battle of Oak Hills）は、南北戦争の初期1861年8月10日に、ミズーリ州スプリングフィールド近くで北軍とミズーリ州兵との間で行われた戦闘である。これはミシシッピ川より西で行われた最初の主要会戦であり、「西のブルラン」と呼ばれることもある。 ナサニエル・ライアン准将の西部軍はスプリングフィールドで宿営しており、ベンジャミン・マカロック准将指揮下の南軍が接近していた。8月9日、両軍はそれぞれ敵に対する作戦を立てた。8月10日の午前5時頃、ライアンとフランツ・シーゲル大佐が指揮する2部隊が、スプリングフィールドより12マイル (19 km) 南西のウィルソンズ・クリークで南軍を攻撃した。南軍の騎兵隊が最初の打撃を受けてブラディヒルから後退した。南軍が間もなく駆け付けてその陣地を安定させた。 南軍はその日3度攻撃したが、北軍の前線を突き破れなかった。ライアンがこの戦闘で戦死し、サミュエル・D・スタージス少佐が指揮を引き継いだ。一方、南軍はスケッグズブランチの南でシーゲルの部隊を潰走させた。午前11時に終わった南軍の3回目の攻撃後、南軍は後退した。しかし、スタージスは部隊兵が消耗しており、弾薬が尽き掛けていることを認識したので、スプリングフィールドへの撤退を命令した。南軍はあまりに乱れており、装備も悪かったので追撃できなかった。この南軍の勝利でミズーリ州の南部同調者を元気づけ、プライスとそのミズーリ州兵がレキシントンまで北に大胆な押し出しを行う弾みになった。10月遅く、クレイボーン・フォックス・ジャクソン知事が招集した残党の集会がネオショで開かれ、脱退条例を可決した。ウィルソンズ・クリークは1861年のミズーリ州で最も重要な戦闘となり、南軍はミズーリ州南西部を支配することになった。

  • Bitwa nad Wilson's Creek, niekiedy określana jako bitwa pod Oak Hills, miała miejsce 10 sierpnia 1861 roku na terenie obecnych hrabstw Greene i Christian w stanie Missouri. Zwycięstwo Konfederacji nad siłami Unii pozwoliło im uzyskać kontrolę nad południowo-zachodnią częścią stanu. Była to najważniejsza bitwa wojny secesyjnej w Missouri w 1861 roku i tego powodu niekiedy określana jest przez historyków jako "Bull Run zachodu" w nawiązaniu do pierwszej bitwy nad Bull Run na wschodnim froncie wojny secesyjnej.
  • A Batalha do Wilson's Creek, também conhecida como Batalha de Oak Hills, ocorreu em 10 de agosto de 1861 nas proximidades da cidade de Springfield, Missouri. Os oponentes foram o exército da União e a Guarda Estadual do Missouri, no princípio da Guerra Civil Americana. Foi a primeira das grandes batalhas da Guerra Civil a Oeste do Rio Mississippi. O general de brigada Nathaniel Lyon acampara com o Exército do Oeste em Springfield, Missouri, quando houve a aproximação do Exército Confederado sob o comando do general de brigada Benjamin McCulloch. Em 9 de agosto, ambos os lados formularam planos para atacar o outro. Por volta das 5:00 horas do dia 10 de agosto, Lyon, com duas colunas comandadas por ele próprio e o coronel Franz Sigel, atacou os Confederados no Wilson's Creek, a cerca de 15 quilômetros de Springfield. A cavalaria rebelde recebeu o primeiro impacto e as tropas recuaram até Bloody Hill. Mas logo as forças confederadas conseguiram estabilizar suas posições. Os confederados atacaram três vezes as forças da União naquele dia mas não conseguiram romper as linhas defensivas. Lyon foi morto durante a batalha e foi sucedido no comando pelo major Samuel D. Sturgis. Os Confederados então arrasaram com a coluna de Sigel, ao sul de Skegg's Branch. Após o terceiro ataque dos Confederados, que terminou as 11:00 horas, Sturgis viu seus homens exaustos e com a munição no fim e então ordenou a retirada para Springfield. Os Confederados não conseguiram se organizar para a perseguição. A vitória Confederada atraiu simpatizantes dos rebeldes para o Missouri e deu aos Confederados o controle militar do sudoeste daquele estado durante boa parte da guerra.
