| Here is an image of the Historic Cane Hill, Arkansas, Mill, around the turn of the last century. Originally built in the 1830's, the mill was considered a prize by both Confederate & Federal Armies during the Civil War, to grind corn and wheat for the soldiers. The November 28th, 1862, Battle at Cane Hil involved about 2300 Confederates and 5000 Federals, and much of the fighting took place around the town just to the north, and the mill. Today all that remains of the mill are the stone foundations and the old 32 foot diameter water wheel. Located about 10 miles SW of Prairie Grove, the Cane Hill area is a beautiful area well worthy of a drive to see. A week after the battle there, the opposing armies, both re-enforced with considerable infantry and artillery, met at Prairie Grove, Arkansas, on December 7th, 1862. |

| " General Martin E. Green, commanding the second brigade in our division, which had been in the entrenchments nearly all the time, and where he had almost exclusively remained, rarely ever leaving the ditches, was killed on the twenty-seventh of June, while reconnoitering one of the enemy's batteries. He was struck in the head by a musket ball and died instantly, and thus the life of this gray-haired patriot and brave chieftain was given to his country." - 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 |

|
| Here is A Nice Confederate Side Loader 12 Pounder Artillery Shell ! It has good stable iron with some minor pitting, and a typical Confederate copper fuze adapter. The side loader plug is gone, likely lost at firing, but the former owner covered the hole with a small plexiglas window, that lets you see inside the shell to the matrix and case shot balls. A neat diplaying piece of Confederate Artillery. The Link at left goes to Artillery.
