| 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. |

| " For several days and nights we continued to fortify our stomachs with whisky, not always good, and fresh oysters, and became more extensively initiated into the mysteries of the city. It might be said we were on a pretty heavy bender - but where is the Missouri soldier that went to Mobile on furlough, that did not "go it" as long as his money lasted." - Private Ephraim McDowell Anderson, Co. G, 2nd Missouri Infantry, First Missouri Brigade, C.S.A. - On Furlough to Mobile, Alabama - Christmas, 1862 - From the book, " Memoirs Historical And Personal Including the Campaigns of the First Missouri Confederate Brigade" - Edited by Ed Bearss |

| Here is A Nice From Life Image of Confederate General Robert E. Lee ! I won't cover the history of Lee as anyone familar with the war knows who he is. The Cdv is in good shape, with image clear and focused. There is one darker stain just to Lee's right, and a couple of smaller ones here and there, but nothing serious. The reverse shows an imprint from the Monumental Bookstore in Baltimore. A Fine Displaying Image of Confederate General R.E. Lee. Link at left goes to CDVs.

| Fine Excavated “US Allegheny Arsenal” Sword Belt Plate w/Intact Eagle |
|
| Here is A Beautiful Displaying Pre-War or Early War U.S. Allegheny Arsenal Sword Belt Plate ! All the examples of this plate have an attached wreath and eagle, and often after being excavated, both pieces are missing, leaving a simple blank front on the plate. This one though retains most of the applied eagle which really has a great look. The reverse shows the usual "Allegheny Arsenal U.S." markings. Give it a look. The link at left goes to Accoutrement Plates.
