Artillery Piece Overlooking the Bloody Pond, on the Shiloh National Battlefield Park. The Battle occurred on April 6th and 7th, 1862, and involved over 100,000 men, with a staggering casualtie list of almost 24,000. Confederate General Albert Sydney Johnston was killed during the fighting, and eventually the Confederate Army Retreated back to Corinth, Mississippi. Today the National Battlefield Parks preserves almost 4000 acres of the battlefield, with an excellent museum and staff, and is well worth a visit if you are ever in the area.

"Fayetteville [Arkansas] was a town with a population of about 4,000 pleasantly situated on a high and dry position, surrounded by hills from which issued many springs of fine water. This place being now an Army Depot, there were several of our commisary and quartermaster's stores here, and factories established for the manufacture of army wagons, gun carriages, ordnance stores, ammunition, etc." - Sergeant William Watson, 3rd Louisiana Infantry, December, 1861, - From the Book, "Life in the Confederate Army" by Sergeant William Watson.

Here is a Beautiful Dug LA2 Louisiana State Seal Coat Button !  It was recovered near Coden, Alabama, a few years ago.  It retains a generous amount of its original gold gilt, perhaps pushing near 90% or so, and still retains its shank on  the reverse.  The link at left  goes to Confederate Buttons.

Here's a A Nice Displaying G.A.R. or Grand Army of the Republic Waist Belt & Buckle !  The belt is the typical and often seen white cotton showing a bit of staining, but still nicely intact. The buckle retains a nice portion of its gold gilt and shows well. I DON'T THINK you could a similar Rig at a BETTER PRICE ! Link at left goes to Veterans.
