| Ten Miles SW of Fayetteville, Arkansas, is the Beautiful Prarie Grove Battlefield State Park. It is the site of a one-day battle on December 7th, 1862, between 11,000 Confederates commanded by Confederate General Thomas C. Hindman, and about 8500 Federals commanded by Union Generals Francis J. Herron, and James G. Blunt. The battle resulted in combined casualties well over 2,000, and a Southern Retreat back towards Fort Smith, Arkansas. Just a Beautiful Park, with several historic buildings on site, it is well worth a visit if you are ever in the area. |

| "The Corps of General Pope was bivouacked, and there were no tents, except a large one standing in the woods near the creek: this was occupied by the General, and in it was a telegraph apparatus with wire attached, some very fine blankets, an elegant Meerschaum pipe, together with other articles, which our regiment appropriated. " - Private Ephraim McDowell Anderson, Co. G, 2nd Missouri Infantry, First Missouri Brigade, C.S.A. - Aftermath of the Battle of Farmington, Mississippi - May 9th, 1862, - From the book, " Memoirs Historical And Personal Including the Campaigns of the First Missouri Confederate Brigade" - Edited by Ed Bearss |

Here is A Fine Civil War Period Image of the Helena, Arkansas, Home of Confederate General Thomas C. Hindman ! The image has fairly good contrast and details, though the mount has been lightly trimmed on the ends, likely to fit in an album. Although this particular Cdv has no photographer's imprint, the exact same image is sometimes seen with a T. W. Bankes, Helena imprint. Not a real common Cdv, so give it a look.
