| Here are some images from a display myself, and friend Ann Webb set up a few years ago at the Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park, here in Arkansas. Ann and her husband C.W. were great friends for over 30 years and C.W. had a great collection of Civil War Period military artifacts, while Ann collected in her own right. She specialized in Civil War Period and Pre-Civil War Period Jewelry, Household Goods, Kitchen Utensils, and even a few Carte De Visites or Cdvs. After C.W. passed away several years ago, Ann continued to volunteer at the Park with me for several more years, setting up artifact displays in the Battlefield Museum one Sunday a month. A year before she passed, it got to be too much work, but I will never forget displaying with Ann & C.W. We always had fun, and got to talk to lots of people sincerely interested in our American History. Thanks to the folks at the Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park for having us out for many years. The PGBSP is a great place to visit with over 900 acres of the battlefield preserved, and an excellent museum. If you are ever in NW Arkansas, be sure and give it a visit. |

| " Our ranks were thinned and reduced, but the nerve of the boys was still firm and unyielding - their courage unbroken, and their determined and fiery spirits yet undaunted. It was thought that Charlie Hanger was dead, but John [ his brother ] still clung to the hope that he might be living; we all sympathized with him in the doubt and uncertainty he was laboring under: those who saw Charley fall, believed John's hopes illusive, as he fell to all appearances dead. After talking over the many events of the two preceding days, we drew our blankets round us, and while some watched, others sought the rest they so much needed. " - Private Ephraim McDowell Anderson, Co. G, 2nd Missouri Infantry, First Missouri Brigade, C.S.A. - Entering Vicksburg, Mississippi, near the beginning of the Siege - May 17th, 1863 - From the book, " Memoirs Historical And Personal Including the Campaigns of the First Missouri Confederate Brigade" - Edited by Ed Bearss |
