Is there an agreed upon location for the Second Battle of Lexington of October 19, 1864? I can find no location for it (other than "Lexington, MO"). Also, where were the "fairgrounds" located in Lexington?

I suspect (from the Official Records) that the main line of General Blunt's move southeast out of Lexington, and later his retreat from Shelby's advance, was along Missouri highway 13 running east-west 2.5 miles south of Lexington. This M 13 ends at the new highway to Sedalia (also a M 13 ) running parallel to the old Higginsville Road. It seems that Shelby's advance was marching west along Lick Fork Road (same east-west alignment as M13), pushed through Blunts advance picket line with ease, and then ran into Blunt' s main defense line about where the old Higginsville Road intersected Lick Fork Road. It seems Blunt eventually realized that he was greatly outnumbered, as Shelby's numerous regiments continued to arrive on the field, overlapping his 1,600-man line on both flanks. Blunt also realized that no federal help from Sanborn or Pleasonton was coming from the south in time to reinforce him, so he wisely retreated west along Missouri 13 to the Independence Road (M 224). His recon job (to find and reveal Price's Army) was done!

While Blunt reports that he was the first to get in front of Price and make him deploy (show) his full force and direction of march (which General Curtis at Kansas City/Independence needed), didn't the Second Battle of Lexington have another far greater positive impact on the final federal victory at Westport??
