| 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 Camp at Meridian was established in the piney woods nearby, and the whole country around is of this character, the soil generally poor and unproductive. It was understood that the command would remain here for some time, probably during the winter, and the boys went to work and built cabins for quarters, such as have been before described, and made themselves quite comfortable." - .Private Ephraim McDowell Anderson, Co. G, 2nd Missouri Infantry, First Missouri Brigade, C.S.A. - Meridian, Mississippi - October, 1863 - From the book, " Memoirs Historical And Personal Including the Campaigns of the First Missouri Confederate Brigade" - Edited by Ed Bearss |
