| Artist Andy Thomas of Carthage, Missouiri, painted this excellent rendition of the Confederate Charge on the west end of the Prairie Grove, Arkansas, Battlefield. The Battle occurred on December 7th, 1862, between 11,000 Confederates commanded by Major General Thomas C. Hindman, and about 8500 Federals commanded by Generals Francis J. Herron, and James G. Blunt. Lasting all day, the Confederates left the field at the end of the day, due to lack of ammunition. Today approximately 900 acres of the battlefield has been preserved as the Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park. It is a beautiful Arkansas State Park, with many historic structures and an excellent museum, well worth a visit if you are ever in NW Arkansas. |

| " But the great advantage in favour of the Confederate troops was their practical skill as marksmen. Accustomed, as many of them were from their boyhood to shooting with ball while hunting bears, deer, wild turkeys, and other game in the woods or on the prairies, their certainty of aim was acquired by instinct." - Sergeant William Watson, 3rd Louisiana Infantry, discussing the aftermath of the August 10th, 1861, Battle of Oak Hills or Wilson's Creek, Missouri. - From the Book, "Life in the Confederate Army" by Sergeant William Watson. |
