| This is all that's left today, of the Old Mill at Cane Hill, Arkansas. It didn't get the 32 foot metal wheel until after the Civil War. Originally known as Truesdale's Mill, during the War it was owned by Tandy Kidd, and known to both armies as Kidd's Mill. First settled in 1828, Cane Hill claimed a modest college by 1834, and was a bustling community by the 1850s. I either excavated, or saw my digging buddy excavate, my first .69 Gardner, Half a dozen Rare Cosmopolitan Type II bullets, two intact artillery shells, my first CS Regulation button, a side knife, bullet molds, and bunches of common bullets and shell fragments. Have NOTHING but good digging memories of the place. |

| " The Camp at Meridian was established in the piney woods nearby, and the whole country around is of this character, the soil generally poor and unproductive. It was understood that the command would remain here for some time, probably during the winter, and the boys went to work and built cabins for quarters, such as have been before described, and made themselves quite comfortable." - .Private Ephraim McDowell Anderson, Co. G, 2nd Missouri Infantry, First Missouri Brigade, C.S.A. - Meridian, Mississippi - October, 1863 - From the book, " Memoirs Historical And Personal Including the Campaigns of the First Missouri Confederate Brigade" - Edited by Ed Bearss |

Here is A Fine Likely "Wagon" Canteen, constructed of wood, and showing construction methods similar to Civil War Period Confederate Wood Canteens! Definitely dating to the mid 1800s, but can't say for sure it is Civil War Period. Very good condition though, with one loose band, and a Big impressive piece. NOW, Discounted Significantly so give it a look and let me know what you think. Link at left goes to Mess Equipment.
