| A few years ago, while I was displaying two tables of local artifacts at the Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park, here in Arkansas, my friend Tom Bowen, was here and said he could bring his 3rd Wisconsin Cavalry Company Chest. Absolutely Great, I thought, as the 3rd Wisconsin Cavalry was here in NW Arkansas, at both the Battle of Cane Hill, and Prairie Grove, Arkansas. The chest is still in good condition and has obviously been cared for through the years. We had the usual lots of lookers at the artifacts, and especially the Wisconsin Cavalry Chest. Thanks to Tom Bowen for bringing it out and letting everyone get a good look at it. Just studying the construction was an education for me as well as all the Park Visitors.

| " The city had already been bombarded, at different periods, for some months, by the fleet now lying in sight, both on the opposite side of the peninsula and below, at the mouth of the canal, and had also been attacked by forces from the land. The people had become familiar with the deafening thunder of the mortar-boats, and accustomed to the loud and terrible explosions of their monstrous and massive shells, many of which ornamented the gate-posts of the citizens." - Private Ephraim McDowell Anderson, Co. G, 2nd Missouri Infantry, First Missouri Brigade, C.S.A. - Siege of Vicksburg, Mississippi - May, 1863 - From the book, " Memoirs Historical And Personal Including the Campaigns of the First Missouri Confederate Brigade" - Edited by Ed Bearss |
