{"product_id":"westport-1864","title":"Westport 1864","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn September 1864, Confederate Major General Sterling Price decided to try and capture Missouri for the South. After failing to take St. Louis and Jefferson City due to the size of his force, he turned his attention to Westport (part of modern day Kansas City, MO). Warned of the incoming attack, Union forces had already been assembled, bolstered by state militia from Kansas. After a decisive battle at Westport, the Confederates fought a retreat through the state, which ended in a cavalry battle at Mine Creek. It would be the last Confederate invasion west of the Mississippi and Missouri would remain firmly in Union hands. With detailed maps, colorful artwork and period images, Kansas historian Brian Lane Herder explores this lesser known Civil War battle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Osprey Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67893351317817,"sku":"OSPCAM653","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4821\/4585\/files\/OSPCAM653_web_Front__83714.1779824261.1280.1280.jpg?v=1793465378","url":"https:\/\/detectivehawkgames.com\/products\/westport-1864","provider":"Detective Hawk Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
