| If you come to NW Arkansas, the Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park, is a great place to visit, and learn about the Civil War in this portion of the state. With a Superb Museum, and about 900 acres of the battlefield preserved, it is easy to understatnd how and why the battle occurred. On December 7th, 1862, approximately 11,000 Confederates met about 8500 Federal Troops. With a superior artillery advantage, the Union Army held out all day, until the Confederates had expended most of their ordnance stores. Wrapping the wheels of their artillery that night to muffle the sound, the Confederates fell back south, eventually ending up in Van Buren, & Fort Smith, Arkansas. This was the last confrontation of large armies in NW Arkansas, as the Union Army basically occupied the area from then, until the end of the war. Just ten miles southwest of Fayetteville, Arkansas, on Highway 62 West, the Prairie Grove Battlefiled State Park is definitely worth a visit. Click on the Artilllery Image above to see a few pictures of the Battlefield Park. |

| " The city had already been bombarded, at different periods, for some months, by the fleet now lying in sight, both on the opposite side of the peninsula and below, at the mouth of the canal, and had also been attacked by forces from the land. The people had become familiar with the deafening thunder of the mortar-boats, and accustomed to the loud and terrible explosions of their monstrous and massive shells, many of which ornamented the gate-posts of the citizens." - 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 |
