| CAMP OF THE INFANTRY - "Each Company has its tents in two files, facing on a street perpendicular to the color line. The width of the street depends on the front of the camp, but should not be less than 5 paces. The interval between the ranks of tents is 2 paces; between the files of tents of adjacent companies, 2 paces; between regiments, 22 paces." - From the "Revised Regulations For The Army of The United States, 1861." |

| I've talked about the Battle of Elkhorn Tavern or Pea Ridge, Arkansas, quite a bit before, so I won't bore you with anymore here. Instead this link goes to some summer pictures of the modern day National Battlefield Park, a site well worth a visit if you are ever in NW Arkansas. With 4200 acres preserved much as it looked in 1862, dozens of original artillery pieces, the restored Elkhorn Tavern, and a great museum, you can easily spend half a day here learning about the largest battle in Arkansas.
