| 12-Pounder Pointing North of Elkhorn Tavern. The March, 1862, Battle of Pea Ridge was the largest west of the Mississippi River, involving about 16,000 Confederates and 10,500 Yankees. Over 4200 acres of the Park have been preserved much as it was in 1862, since the parks inception in 1962.A two day battle, two Confederate Brigadier Generals were killed at the Battle, on the first day, Benjamin McCulloch, and James McIntosh. Today the National Battlefield Park is a beautiful, quiet place, and one you should not miss, if ever in Northwest Arkansas. I often took my old dogs there for a walk, and while they smelled everything, I tried to smell the gunpowder, and imagine the battle. Click the image to see a few more. |

| " About dark, Lieutenant-Colonel Sentiny was looking over the works and making some observations, when he was shot through the head by a minie ball and killed instantly. With bitter tears of grief and sorrow the regiment beheld the body of this gallant officer, who had led them through many trying scenes and fiery ordeals, now borne back a corpse. No more would we hear his calm and deliberate, though firm and quiet, commands, and be re-assured and stimulated, in the hour of danger, by his self possessed and determined bearing. " - Private Ephraim McDowell Anderson, Co. G, 2nd Missouri Infantry, First Missouri Brigade, C.S.A. - Siege of Vicksburg, Mississippi - July, 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 WWII Army Air Corps Message Streamer - XXIV Artillery Corps ! Measuring 6 feet long when fully unfolded, it still retains its bright yellow color nicely, and all its markings. The snap on the pouch still works as well. The 24th Artillery Corps served during the invasion of Leyte, and the fight for Okinawa. Give it a look when you have a Chance.

| Here is a Very Fine Original Civil War Period Confederate Tin Drum Canteen w/All three sling loops and spout intact. ! It shows a real nice patina on all the tin and solder. A short spout, but nearly identical to several in the Civil War Canteen book. Only the second one of these I have ever had, with the small sling loops, likely intended for a cord.
