| Here is an image of the Historic Cane Hill, Arkansas, Mill, around the turn of the last century. Originally built in the 1830's, the mill was considered a prize by both Confederate & Federal Armies during the Civil War, to grind corn and wheat for the soldiers. The November 28th, 1862, Battle at Cane Hil involved about 2300 Confederates and 5000 Federals, and much of the fighting took place around the town just to the north, and the mill. Today all that remains of the mill are the stone foundations and the old 32 foot diameter water wheel. Located about 10 miles SW of Prairie Grove, the Cane Hill area is a beautiful area well worthy of a drive to see. A week after the battle there, the opposing armies, both re-enforced with considerable infantry and artillery, met at Prairie Grove, Arkansas, on December 7th, 1862. |

| " A parapet was blown up by the explosion of a mine by the enemy on the twenty-fifth, it was situated just to the left of the Jackson Road, and in its destruction we lost a number of men. The Federals charged immediately and attempted to pass thru the opening, and a severe and bloody contest occurred. - Private Ephraim McDowell Anderson, Co. G, 2nd Missouri Infantry, First Missouri Brigade, C.S.A. - Siege of Vicksburg, Mississippi - June, 1863 - From the book, " Memoirs Historical And Personal Including the Campaigns of the First Missouri Confederate Brigade" - Edited by Ed Bearss |

| A Fine Original Civil War Period Hand Soldered Tin Cup ! At just 3 inches tall, but 4 inches diameter, it is a bit shy of being a so-called "Regulation Cup" but is still definitely period, and nearly identical to patterns seen in many period images. It shows all hand soldered construction, a completely flat bottom, and still displays great. If you have time, read my short bit about period cups, in the link a few images below this, on the home page. The Link at left goes to Mess Equipment.

| Fine 11 x 17 inch "Welcome G.A.R." Banner still retaining Vivid Colors and minimal staining |
|
| Here is an Excellent Looking G.A.R., or Grand Army of the Republic, "Welcome" Banner ! Measuring about 11" x 17", and still showing vivid colors, it displays great. These would have been used at Reunions, and possibly even at a G.A.R. Hall. Framed they look superb, and I have one in my own relic room. Once fairly common, they are getting a little harder to find now. Link at left goes to Veterans Items.
