| From the Once Tented Fields & Snug Winter Quarters. Plus a few items out of the Dusty Trunk. |
Hi, I've been collecting, trading, and digging Civil War Artifacts for 25 years. It's great reading about history, yet even more inspiring to touch a small piece ! Browse around the Campsite, and remember we're always looking to buy, and always consider trades. HH Steve

| Here's a section of the Pea Ridge Battlefield National Park, that some folks miss. It's on Little Sugar Creek, near the crossing of the original Old Wire Road. US General Samuel Curtis had rifle pits and artillery emplacements built here, and it's worth seeing, but especially in the winter, when the old works are still quite evident. |

| If you're ever in Vicksburg, Mississippi, to see the battlefield, don't miss the Old Court House Museum ! With an outstanding collection, a friendly staff, and the Old Court House itself, it is absolutely worth your time ! |

| Fine Allen & Thurber .31 Caliber Pepperbox ! |
 |
| Nice Fully Functional Allen & Thurber .31 Caliber Pepperbox |
|
| Here is a nice example of an Allen & Thurber Pepperbox pistol ! Complete and fully functional, it looks sharp, and has an original smooth brown patina . With production starting in the 1840's and continuing until 1865, these were really pre-war weapons, but are still excavated in Civil War period camp and skirmish sites.

| Beautiful Pair Non Dug North Carolina Buttons ! |
 |
| Pair of Non Dug NC8 North Carolina Buttons, Likely From The Same Coat |
|
| Here's a very sharp "pair" of non-dug, NC8 North Carolina Coat Buttons ! Both are in fine condition, with 80-90% gilt remaining, tight intact shanks, and blank channel backs. Both also originated at the same estate sale, and more than likely came from the same coat. Nice price that's just a bit more than you used to pay for just one of these.

| 1928 UCV National Reunion - Little Rock, Arkansas ! |
 |
| 1928 Little Rock, Arkansas, UCV Pinback |
|
| Here's a very good condition, celluloid stick pin from the National Reunion of the United Confederate Veterans, at Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1928 ! Although one of the biggest UCV Reunions had occurred at Little Rock in 1911, by 1928, the vets were passing on and attendance was down considerably. Pin is in great shape with nice colors remaining, and original label in back. Click the link at left to go to the Veterans page, first item at the top! |
