| One tiny way we have found to pay our respects to those who served from 1861-1865, is by making sure that those we know of, who have broken memorial stones, get a proper Veterans Administration Stone, noting their service during the war. To date we have replaced a dozen or so, many Confederate and a few Union. It has been a few years now, and I understand it is a little more difficult to obtain a VA Stone, without being a family member, but we are proud of those we have done, and will pursue the new guidelines, for those we may find in the future. My No. 1 digging buddy, Jack Ferguson, is himself a veteran of the Vietnam War, and always ready to help. SB |

| " While the boys were watching the kettle, a cannon ball struck the fire, upset the kettle, passed between the legs of one of the men and exploded a little farther on. This did not seem to cause any alarm. They had heard cannon balls explode before, but a mightly wail went up over the loss of the apple dumplings in the kettle. The air was blue around there, and at that particular moment the boys would have charged the enemy joyously." - Private William E. Bevens, Co. G, First Arkansas Infantry, C.S.A. - Camp Near Harrison, Tennessee - August 21st, 1863 - From the book, " Reminiscences of A Private", by William E. Bevens, Edited with an Introduction by Daniel E. Sutherland |

| Nice 6.5 Inch Barrel, Series IV, Manhattan "Navy" Revolver - Five Shot .36 Caliber |
|
| Here is A Nice Series IV Manhattan Navy Revolver ! Very much resembling the 1851 Colt Navy, these revolvers were quite popular, though Manhattan never got a Government Contract. A Five Shot, .36 Caliber Pistol it would have still been desired by not only Union officers and soldiers, but also Confederates. It displays great, and is still fully functional, so give it a look.
