| Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park in Prairie Grove, Arkansas, is the site of one of the larger engagements in Arkansas. The Battle itself occurred on December 7th, 1862, involving about 11,000 Confederates and 8500 Federals. After an all day fight, total casualties numbered approximately 2500 killed & wounded. Today's Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park contains about 900 acres of the original 3200 acre battlefield, preserved much as it looked in 1862. Additionaly there is an Excellent Museum and several historic structures in the park. Definitely worth a visit when you are in NW Arkansas. |

| "The camp was in a very pleasant situation, two miles from the river; the nearest point was Grand Gulf, where heavy batteries were now being planted, and quite an extensive line of rifle-pits had been thrown up. The men were granted the priviledge of going to the river by the commanding general, or within one mile of camp in any other direction, at their pleasure, provided they were punctually at roll-call, which took place three times a day." - Private Ephraim McDowell Anderson, Co. G, 2nd Missouri Infantry, First Missouri Brigade, C.S.A. - Describing Camp 2 miles from Grand Gulf, Mississippi - March, 1863 - From the book, " Memoirs Historical And Personal Including the Campaigns of the First Missouri Confederate Brigade" - Edited by Ed Bearss |

This one is the standard looking two tone paper tube, wax sealed at one end and an excellent example, so give it a look. Link at left goes to Cartridges Paper & Boxes.
