| One tiny way we have found to pay our respects to those who served from 1861-1865, is by making sure that those we know of, who have broken memorial stones, get a proper Veterans Administration Stone, noting their service during the war. To date we have replaced a dozen or so, many Confederate and a few Union. It has been a few years now, and I understand it is a little more difficult to obtain a VA Stone, without being a family member, but we are proud of those we have done, and will pursue the new guidelines, for those we may find in the future. My No. 1 digging buddy, Jack Ferguson, is himself a veteran of the Vietnam War, and always ready to help. SB |

| " The wounded seemed to be doing well, receiving every attention, and their situation was comparatively comfortable. A soldier here, by the name of Elliot, belonging to Captain Perkins' Company, had his leg broken by a cannon ball. It had not been amputated, and he afterwards recovered without losing it - a rare circumstance, as in cases of limbs fractured by cannon shot, amputation is almost universally resorted to and required. - Private Ephraim McDowell Anderson, Co. G, 2nd Missouri Infantry, First Missouri Brigade, C.S.A. - At Drywood Creek, Missouri - September 2nd, 1861 - From the book, " Memoirs Historical And Personal Including the Campaigns of the First Missouri Confederate Brigade" - Edited by Ed Bearss |

| Nice Civil War Period "Raised Ring" Tin Drum Canteen - w/Screw Cap & All Three Sling Loops |
|
| Here is A Nice Tin Drum Canteen with Raised Concentric Rings & Pewter Screw Cap Intact ! You see these occasionally, but nearly always the screw cap is missing. Nearly identical to a couple of examples in the book, Civil War Canteens, this one is just 6.25 inches in diameter by 1.25 inches wide. There are a few small holes, but overall it is in good condition and displays great ! The link at left goes to Mess Equipment !

| Excellent RARE Confederate CS12 Cavalry Trooper's Spur w/Intact Iron Rowel |
|
| Here is A RARE Non-Dug CS12 Confederate Spur ! It is really a beauty, with a nice dark mellow patina, no bends or breaks, and iron rowel still intact and spinning freely. A dug example is illustrated in Howard Crouch's book, Historic American Spurs, and and he calls it a "rare specimen" valued at $250+ in dug condition. Doubt you'll see another non-dug one for sale anytime soon. Link at left goes to Horse Equipment.
