Wilson’s Creek is based on the board game of the same name and is part of the ‘Great Battles of the American Civil War’ series of games, recreating the significant battles of the American Civil War. The battle of Wilson’s Creek was fought on August 10th, 1861 and took place five miles Southwest of Springfield, Missouri.
