| One tiny way we have found to pay our respects to those who served from 1861-1865, is by making sure that those we know of, who have broken memorial stones, get a proper Veterans Administration Stone, noting their service during the war. To date we have replaced a dozen or so, many Confederate and a few Union. It has been a few years now, and I understand it is a little more difficult to obtain a VA Stone, without being a family member, but we are proud of those we have done, and will pursue the new guidelines, for those we may find in the future. My No. 1 digging buddy, Jack Ferguson, is himself a veteran of the Vietnam War, and always ready to help. SB |

| " Our tents, which had been sent off, were shipped back to us and stretched in a grove about fifty yards from the storehouse. We built a thick arbor over them, extending the whole length of the camp and about fifteen paces in front; this was used for cooking, eating and lolling under during the long hot days; our water was near, supplied from a fine clear spring. " - Private Ephraim McDowell Anderson, Co. G, 2nd Missouri Infantry, First Missouri Brigade, C.S.A. - Camp near Priceville, Mississippi - June 4th, 1862 - From the book, " Memoirs Historical And Personal Including the Campaigns of the First Missouri Confederate Brigade" - Edited by Ed Bearss |

A Pre-war explorer of the American West, Fremont briefly commanded the Department of Missouri, drawing the ire of President Lincoln, for freeing slaves. Afterwards transferred to the Valley of Virginia, he was pummeled by Stonewall Jackson, before being sidelined and eventually resigning.

| Nice 6.5 Inch Barrel, Series IV, Manhattan "Navy" Revolver - Five Shot .36 Caliber |
|
| Here is A Nice Series IV, Manhattan "Navy" Revolver, that is fully functional and all matching ! A close copy of the Colt Navy, Manhattan never managed to get a government contract, but despite that, quite a few were carried by soldiers and officers, as it was considered a good second to the Colt, and a fine Navy caliber sidearm. This one is all original and still a good displaying revolver. The link at left goes to Firearms !
