| 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 enemy had in action not less than sixty guns, most of them of very heavy metal and of the largest caliber, and threw ashore at least a hundred and twenty tons of iron. This may be thought, at the first impression, an exaggerated estimate, but when it is considered that it takes only about thirty-one, sixty-four pound balls to make a ton, and that the enemy fired in the neighborhood of sixty rounds to the piece, it will be found that the calculation is very moderate." - Private Ephraim McDowell Anderson, Co. G, 2nd Missouri Infantry, First Missouri Brigade, C.S.A. - Describing the Bombardment of Grand Gulf, Mississippi - April 29th, 1863 - From the book, " Memoirs Historical And Personal Including the Campaigns of the First Missouri Confederate Brigade" - Edited by Ed Bearss |

| Here is a Superb Cdv Image of "Balfour House" at Vicksburg, Mississippi, taken by the Washington Gallery in Vicksburg ! The image would have been made after the Federals occupied the town, but there is a lot to see in this Cdv. The house, once the home of Emma Balfour, who kept a Vicksburg Siege Diary, and HQs for U.S. General James McPherson, still stands today. Be sure and give it a look. Link at left goes to Cdvs.
