| Here are some images from a display myself, and friend Ann Webb set up a few years ago at the Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park, here in Arkansas. Ann and her husband C.W. were great friends for over 30 years and C.W. had a great collection of Civil War Period military artifacts, while Ann collected in her own right. She specialized in Civil War Period and Pre-Civil War Period Jewelry, Household Goods, Kitchen Utensils, and even a few Carte De Visites or Cdvs. After C.W. passed away several years ago, Ann continued to volunteer at the Park with me for several more years, setting up artifact displays in the Battlefield Museum one Sunday a month. A year before she passed, it got to be too much work, but I will never forget displaying with Ann & C.W. We always had fun, and got to talk to lots of people sincerely interested in our American History. Thanks to the folks at the Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park for having us out for many years. The PGBSP is a great place to visit with over 900 acres of the battlefield preserved, and an excellent museum. If you are ever in NW Arkansas, be sure and give it a visit. |

| " The celebrated Blakely guns had not long before been brought to Vicksburg, and some of them placed in battery on the river line. They were found to be very effective against the iron-clad vessels, and discharged a steel pointed ball with great accuracy of aim and extraordinary power." - 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 |
