Pea Ridge 2010 Pt. 1

[Quantrill's Missouri]

I had these in the CD drawer and thought I would join the many of you who post their pics. So........
There will be a Pt. 2 and Pt. 3. I hope you like them.

Like the variety of presentation subjects here - landscape pictures, artworks, exhibits, figures, biographies, map, artifacts, portrait photos and uniforms.

Thought it comprehensively covers the atmosphere of this field well.

Great pics! These and Part 1.
(#13), (#17), and (#18) from the top: the views are of what areas from what direction?

#13 I don't remember.
#17 Is ground level looking due west.
#18 I believe is from the East Overlook looking west

Glad you enjoyed them!

Thanks for these nice pictures. I see that photo of Col. Robert McCulloch lots of places. It is even on the wayside marker at Walnut Grove Cemetery in Boonville, Missouri where Col. Robert "Black Bob" McCulloch is buried. I don't know who it is, but it is NOT Black Bob. Even a quick glance at the man's collar insignia shows that we are looking at the face of a Confederate General. I have seen pictures of a bound folio of Confederate Generals, in which the owner hand-wrote names under the pictures. The name "Robert McCulloch" was written under this general's photo, and I believe that is the source of the mis-attribution. Or perhaps there was another Robert McCulloch in the Confederate army whose likeness gets confused with that of Black Bob.

Here are some photos of the actual Black Bob McCulloch. In the group photo, he's the gent seated in the center of the front row.

Speaking of McCulloch (the "other one" General Benjamin), it's amazing the damage one bullet at the wrong time (well, actually, two once McIntosh was also hit) can do to a battle plan...

I have not been back to Pea Ridge since the 90s. But it looks as pristine as it did back then. That is what struck me about it. Such a contrast to the commercialized Gettysburg.

Pea Ridge 2010, the finale.

This is the last of these photos.

Back in '76, while on our honeymoon, my brand new wife took a picture of me astride one of those cannons.

Exactly. I was there in June of 2011. Loved Pea Ridge. So pristine and mostly undisturbed

These are great. Thank you! Will have to put Pea Ridge and Prairie Grove on the fall visit list for the colors! I enjoyed the drive through in the spring; always headed to Chattanooga area and Shenendoah Valley for fall though.
