| " In the field where the enemy had bivouacked, blankets, knapsacks and drums were left scattered in every direction; these were secured and hauled back to camp. Several of their dead were lying close together where the artillery had been in position; they had been killed by shell: the loss, however, on either side was inconsiderable, as the engagement lasted only for a short time." - Confederate Private Ephraim McDowell Anderson, 2nd Missouri Infantry, Missouri State Guard, C.S.A. - On the Farmington, Mississippi, Battlefield, May 9th, 1862 - From the book, " Memoirs: Historical & Personal; Including the Campaigns of the First Missouri Confederate Brigade " With Notes by Edwin C.

| With Summer approaching I'll be getting ready to display a couple of table of artifacts once a month at the Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park. With a superb museum, friendly staff, and about 900 acres of the battlefield preserved, Prairie Grove is definitely worth a visit if you are ever in NW Arkansas. On December 7th, 1862, almost 11,000 Confederates commanded by General Thomas C. Hindman met approximately 8500 Federals here commanded by Generals James G. Blunt & Francis J. Herron, in a battle that started at sunrise and ended at sunset. Beautiful battlefield and beautiful small town. |

| Nice Cdv of Commander of Fremont's Bodyguard Major Charles Zagonyi |
 |
| Nice Cdv of Commander of Fremont's Bodyguard Major Charles Zagonyi |
|
| Here is A Fine Cdv From Life Image of US Major Charles Zagonyi ! A Hungarian Military Officer before coming to the United States, Zagonyi was a loyal follower of John Charles Fremont. With only about 300 troopers he lead a charge at Springfield, Missouri, against almost 1500 Confederates that resulted in their rout and gave Zagonyi and his troopers a moment of glory. After Fremont was reassigned, Zagonyi left the Trans-Mississippi Dept. to go with him. An uncommon image that is hard to find. Give it a look. The link at left goes to Cdvs & Albumens !

| Fine Engraved Approximately .60 Caliber Belgian Pocket Pistol |
|
| Here is A Fine "Derringer Style" Large Bore Pocket Pistol ! This thing is a smoothbore of about .60 caliber, and would definitely do the job at a short distance. It has quite a bit of very fine engraving that was once silver filled and you can see it in the pictures. For about the price of a standard small bore boot pistol, this one displays much better. Give it a look. Link at left goes to Firearms.

| Nice Priced WC-1 Wisconsin State Seal Staff Officer's Coat Button |
 |
| Nice Priced WC-1 Wisconsin State Seal Staff Officer's Coat Button |
|
| Here is A Nice Original WC-1 Wisconsin State Seal Coat Button ! Its a non dug button but has a really nice look to it, that is almost like a heavily gilted dug example. Shank is intact and there is a period " * Extra * Quality" backmark. This button shows lots of wear, but displays beautifully and I don't think you can find a nice genuine Civil War period Wisconsin coat button for less money ! Link at left goes to Non-dug Federal Buttons.
