| Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park in Prairie Grove, Arkansas, is the site of one of the larger engagements in Arkansas. The Battle itself occurred on December 7th, 1862, involving about 11,000 Confederates and 8500 Federals. After an all day fight, total casualties numbered approximately 2500 killed & wounded. Today's Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park contains about 900 acres of the original 3200 acre battlefield, preserved much as it looked in 1862. Additionaly there is an Excellent Museum and several historic structures in the park. Definitely worth a visit when you are in NW Arkansas. |

| " For several days and nights we continued to fortify our stomachs with whisky, not always good, and fresh oysters, and became more extensively initiated into the mysteries of the city. It might be said we were on a pretty heavy bender - but where is the Missouri soldier that went to Mobile on furlough, that did not "go it" as long as his money lasted." - Private Ephraim McDowell Anderson, Co. G, 2nd Missouri Infantry, First Missouri Brigade, C.S.A. - On Furlough to Mobile, Alabama - Christmas, 1862 - From the book, " Memoirs Historical And Personal Including the Campaigns of the First Missouri Confederate Brigade" - Edited by Ed Bearss |
