| " One day Clay Lowe had cooked some cornbread and left it on the table, feeling that he had done a good piece of work. After dinner a big man in uniform stepped up and broke open a piece of bread. Clay was about to call him to account in words not very choice, when the big man explained that he was General Holmes, commander of the troops. Clay had to beg his pardon and salute the General, and the General in turn complimented him on his bread. " - Private William E. Bevens, Co. G, First Arkansas Infantry, C.S.A. - Camp at Marlboro Point, Virginia, - June, 1861 - From the book, " Reminiscences of A Private", by William E. Bevens, Edited with an Introduction by Daniel E.

| 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.

| Huge Nearly 2 Gallon Capacity Civil War Tin Coffee Pot w/Lid & Wire Bail |
|
| Here is A HUGE Civil War Period Tin Coffee Pot ! It has a capacity for almost two gallons, a wire bail for hanging, and a handle on the back for tipping to pour. It shows all tin soldered construction, a completely flat bottom, and makes a "regulation" size tin cup look small. Definitely a large mess or company size pot, it is the biggest I've personally seen. The link at left goes to Mess Equipment !
