Mrs. Hoover abandoning the fort
[edit]"When the men left in September 1864 to meet the Confederate invasion under Maj. Gen. Sterling Price, Mrs. Hoover received word that the Union forces had been decimated. She abandoned the fort, but the information about the defeat was incorrect." This probably needs a citation. But why did Hoover leave the fort and what were the effects of her doing so? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.119.64.66 (talk) 21:23, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
