New Santa Fe
In 1864 this village straddled the state line. The military road running north and south was ¼-mile west of the line. On October 23, 1864, General Sterling Price's wagon train moving southwest on this road turned south on the military road at 2 P.M. followed by most of his army. Shelby's Division withdrew south at 3 P.M. with Union troops in pursuit. Jennison's and Ford's Brigades continued for four mi. and stopped. Price continued south for 20 miles that night. Union troops camped near here and at Indian Creek.
