<FONT=HelpText,L,195,4,39>Situation:<FONT=HelpText,L,8,12,24> After marching all night, Price's division, as planned, proceeded south on Telegraph Road around the east side of a rugged, wooded ridge called Big Mountain.  Personally led by Van Dorn, the division approached Elkhorn Tavern from the north on Telegraph Road.  Shortly before noon the weary Confederates reached the steep slope that leads from the floor of Cross Timber Hollow to the top of Pea Ridge. Fighting erupted unexpectedly when the leading Rebels ran into a Union skirmish line near a tanyard at the foot of the slope.
