| 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 approach was over a high ridge, in full view of the encampment, which presented a scene of marvelous and striking beauty, there was even something grand about it, as spread before us, it suddenly met the eye upon reaching the summit of the hill. Below, the white tents extended far up and down the line of the river, bright camp-fires blazing in front, around which groups of soldiers were distinctly seen, standing, sitting, or moving in varied attitudes. The dark outlines of the sentinels could be distinguished in phantom shapes as they slowly walked their beats, the shadowy figures of horses, as they drooped their heads in the attitude of sleep, assumed goblin and mystic forms; above all hung the glowing and luminous brightness, tinging the sky with its radiance, so often produced in the atmosphere by innumerable camp-fires." -Private Ephraim McDowell Anderson, Co. G, 2nd Missouri Infantry, First Missouri Brigade, C.S.A. - Camp on Sauk River, Missouri - Late November, 1861 - From the book, " Memoirs Historical And Personal Including the Campaigns of the First Missouri Confederate Brigade" - Edited by Ed Bearss |

| Nice Fully Functional Little ca. 1860's Allen & Wheelock 7-Shot .22 Caliber Side Hammer Revolver |
|
| Here is A Fine 1860's Allen & Wheelock, Seven Shot Sidehammer .22 Revolver ! It is all orginal and still functioning perfectly. All the markings are legible and it has a very low two digit serial number. All the metal is in good condition with a mostly gray/brown patina. A neat little .22 revolver that would have competed with the S&W No. 1 as a Soldiers Pocket Pistol. The link at left goes to Firearms !

| Nice M1833 US Dragoon Brass Stirrup |
|
| Here is A Fine Relic Condition Big Brass Stirrup for the M1833 Dragoon Saddle ! It's a barn or out building example, not dug, but has a wonderful look to it. Painted gold long ago, likely for parade use, you can still make out part of the original and unusual triangular stippling on the tread. Some of these were still in use during the Civil War and they have been dug at Civil War sites. This one displays great ! Link at left goes to Horse Equipment.

| Beautiful Dug Coat Size Button for the 1840 Presidential Campaign of William Henry Harrison |
|
| Here is A Beautiful Dug Coat Button From the 1840 Presidential Campaign of William Henry Harrion ! Though these are somewhat common in non-dug condition, nice excavated examples are rare. This one has a generous amount of its original gold gilt still present on the front, very nicely highlighting the details of the cabin & cider barrel. The rest of the metal has a nice green patina, the upright shank is intact on the reverse, and there is a raised "Kendrick" maker's mark. The link at left goes to Pre-war Buttons.
