Comments on: Report on my battlefield wanderings https://civilwarcavalry.com/?p=2149 Bringing obscurity into focus Thu, 11 Apr 2019 15:39:26 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.0.22 By: Mark Hudziak https://civilwarcavalry.com/?p=2149&cpage=1#comment-39396 Tue, 03 Aug 2010 17:22:12 +0000 http://civilwarcavalry.com/?p=2149#comment-39396 Agree with your assessments of Wilson’s Creek and Peas Ridge battlefields. That view at Pea Ridge is terrific. And we had 97 degrees and high humidity at Wilson’s Creek, so I sympathize. We cooled off at the Fantastic Caverns in Springfield afterwards. Sounds like a couple of great trips. I’d love to tour a battlefield with Ed Bearss.

Outstanding commentary! I live in northwestern TN, and there are so many wonderful sites related to the war in our area. Thanks again for your wonderful posts…………..

That museum collection is indeed very impressive. I went into it with low expectations, simply because I had never heard of it, but that is a fabulous collection. I’m glad that the Park Service now owns it so that that terrific collection won’t be split up.

I am indeed referring to Trailhead. Neat place.

I assume you’re talking about Trailhead, right on the corner in the St. charles old town. It IS excellent, a required stop every Feb. when I’m out there.
Regards,
Keith

Pea Ridge and Prairie Grove are two of my favorite battlefields. I enjoyed reading your report. When the Civil War Forum visited Wilson’s Creek, that museum was still called the General Sweeny Museum — what an impressive collection.

One thing about the relentless heat in Southern Missouri and Northwest Arkansas — it helps take your mind off the ticks.

If you haven’t already done so please check out my blog “The Trans-Mississippian” at http://www.transmississippian.blogspot.com/

My posting of 21 June 2010 with quotes by Union soldiers about the hot weather in the trans-Mississippi may be of particular interest…

Great to see you again.

I feel your pain. I think I am most impressed that 87-year old Ed Bearss was able to hike from Brawner to the Deep Cut. Wow, I am soft.

At least the weather during your trip to Cedar Mountain matched the actual weather conditions during the battle — over 100 degrees in the shade. It must have been brutal for those boys in wool.

Sorry I missed you,

Todd Berkoff

I’ve always wanted to visit Pea Ridge, Prairie Grove, Wilson’s Creek. It’s great that there are still such wonderfully preserved battlefields of the conflict to visit.
