| Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park in Prairie Grove, Arkansas, is the site of one of the larger engagements in Arkansas. The Battle itself occurred on December 7th, 1862, involving about 11,000 Confederates and 8500 Federals. After an all day fight, total casualties numbered approximately 2500 killed & wounded. Today's Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park contains about 900 acres of the original 3200 acre battlefield, preserved much as it looked in 1862. Additionaly there is an Excellent Museum and several historic structures in the park. Definitely worth a visit when you are in NW Arkansas. |

| " It was provided with comfortable quarters, having built a cabin of pine logs, with a tolerably good roof. The cabin however, was neither chinked nor daubed, but contained a capacious fire-place, that occupied the principal part of one end. This was used for eating and staying in, while we still continued to sleep in our tents, stretched close at hand." - Private Ephraim McDowell Anderson, Co. G, 2nd Missouri Infantry, First Missouri Brigade, C.S.A. - Describing the Quarters of his Mess of Co. G, 4 miles from Grenada, Mississippi - January, 1863 - From the book, " Memoirs Historical And Personal Including the Campaigns of the First Missouri Confederate Brigade" - Edited by Ed Bearss |

| Here is a Fine Dug or Relic Condition U.S. M1859 Cavalry Trooper's Bridle Bit ! It still retains both its cast brass U.S. bit bosses, the slobber bar, and a curb chain, though it is an iron replacement. Unlike most of these you see, it also still retains its original form nicely with no bends. The iron, though rusty is strong. This bit is just an Excellent Display Example ! Give it a look.

One end looks like it may have been in a firepit, or else had some crude attempts at field repair, but the Virginia State Device on the front shows good detail and stands out nicely. Recovered near Chancellorsville years ago, it is now Marked Down, so give it a look. The link at left goes to Accoutrement Plates.
