| This was 20 years ago, and my digging buddy, Scooby Doo, was helping me dig relics in a little Union camp just south of the Pea Ridge, Arkansas, Battlefield. Scooby liked to go digging, and he would always get excited when he saw me pickup a metal detector in the house. I was fortunate enough to have dog friendly landowners, and Scooby went to nearly all my sites for over 10 years, in Arkansas, Missouri, and Virginia. He was a great buddy, and would often stop and dig at the ground, whenever he saw me down on my knees digging. Click the image to see a picture of he and I a few years earlier near Prairie Grove, Arkansas, where Scooby found a Skunk. |

| " Heavy batteries were now planted all around, and a big gun had been placed in position opposite the town, which threw a hundred pound conical shell, and shot threw an entire square of the city at a single discharge. Our river batteries silenced it several times, but whenever our artillery ceased, even for a short time, the Federal Cannoneers were at work again. This gun was very formidable, and did fearful execution. " - Private Ephraim McDowell Anderson, Co. G, 2nd Missouri Infantry, First Missouri Brigade, C.S.A. - Siege of Vicksburg, Mississippi - June, 1863 - From the book, " Memoirs Historical And Personal Including the Campaigns of the First Missouri Confederate Brigade" - Edited by Ed Bearss |
