The Battle of Dry Wood Creek was fought on September 2, 1861 in Vernon County, Missouri during the American Civil War. After his victory at the Battle of Wilson's Creek, Sterling Price and the Missouri State Guard moved further north into Missouri. A force of Union troops under James H. Lane moved from Fort Scott, Kansas to attempt to intercept Price's army, and set an ambush along Dry Wood Creek in Vernon County. Price's Missouri State Guard troops outnumbered Lane's Kansas troops, and forced Lane to retreat to Fort Scott after a two hour skirmish. In their retreat, Lane's troops were forced to abandon their supplies and mules to the Missourians.
