“The Battle Raged…With Terrible Fury:” Battlefield Archeology of Pea Ridge National Military Park “THE BATTLE RAGED…WITH TErrIBLE FURY:” BATTLEFIELD ArCHEOLOGY OF PEA RIDGE NATIONAL MILITARY PARK By Carl G. Carlson-Drexler, Douglas D. Scott, and Harold Roeker Midwest Archeological Center Technical Report No. 112 NATIONAL PARK SERVICE Midwest Archeological Center United States Department of the Interior National Park Service Midwest Archeological Center Lincoln, Nebraska 2008 This report has been reviewed against the criteria contained in 43CFR Part 7, Subpart A, Section 7.18 (a) (1) and, upon recommendation of the Midwest Regional Office and the Midwest Archeological Center, has been classified as Available Making the report available meets the criteria of 43CFR Part 7, Subpart A, Section 7.18 (a) (1). ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The Pea Ridge battlefield archeological project is the product of a cooperative effort on the part of many people. Among the most supportive were the staff of Pea Ridge National Military Park. They extended their welcome and tendered every possible assistance to the field crew during our in-park work. We want to especially thank Superintendent John Scott for all of his assistance and guidance, the late Douglas Keller for his constant support and determination to spend as much time in the field with us as possible and former Chief of Interpretation Mary Cox Davis for her unflagging support and advice and for assisting us in the field, and the park’s maintenance staff who did everything in their power to aid the field investigations. We are grateful to Charles Haecker for all of his help during the field investigations and to Greg Kendrick who “loaned” Charlie to us from Intermountain Region. We could not have accomplished this work without the hard work of a small army of metal detectorists and volunteers, some of whom were park staff who gave generously of their time off. It was their hard work in all sorts of weather conditions that allowed this project to become a success. We offer our grateful and heartfelt thanks to the volunteer crews: Chris Adams, Conrad Angone, Floyd Barnhill, Derek Batten, Olga Berg, Carolyn Bernaski, Sam Bilyeu, Dana Burgess, Steve Burgess, Steve Burt, Frank Butler, Kenneth Byrd, Jeff Call, John Casteel, Glen Christophersen, Mike Clark, Cici Craglow, Julie Coleman, Jim Dobkins, Ransom Ellis, Fagan, Ronald Fagan, Jessica Faldon, Roger Farrer, Jack Ferguson, Norman Ferguson, Gail Fowler, Tom Frew, John Gibson, Larry Gibson, John Goodwin, Justin Goodwin, Henry Gresham, Charles Haecker, Steve Hall, Don Hamilton, Dick Harmon, Monte Harris, Erik Hazel, John Heuston, Bob Hofer, Glen Hofer, Rose Ann Hofer, Steve Hoover, Craig Jones, Ed LaMastus, Dave Lewis, Giselle Lewis, Sam Littrell, Ike Lockridge, Richard Lockridge, Larry Ludwig, Gordan McCain, Will McCain, John Nessmith, Bob Norris, Bob Rea, Tom Reed, Kent Ruddick, Sandy Ruddick, Ann Schafer Ed Schafer, Don Schafter, Don Schmid, Harold Sharp, Bob Sigafoos, Ellie Smidley, Dustin Smidley, Don Smith, Mike Swalley, Vicki Swalley, Glen Swanson, Jerry Sweeney, Tom Sweeney, Darla Thomas, Curtis Tilgham, Elizabeth Tyurikow, Tami Vitali, Sandy Wells, Jack West, Mark Wheeler, Travis Whenhust, James White, Nola White, Chris Whitehead, Mark Whitehead, Walter Whitehead, Phil Whitlow, Scott Wilkey, Warren Wilkey, John Willmann, and Bruce Wright. These volunteers contributed 3610 hours to the project, for which we are eternally grateful. As always the staff of the Midwest Archeological Center provided unqualified support in the course of the project. Thomas Thiessen, Park Program Manager, and Mark Lynott, Center Manager gave us sage advice and support for the project’s duration. We would particularly like to thank Jill Lewis for her yeoman-like efforts in handling the travel vouchers for all of the volunteers, and Linda Clarke for her diligent work on the cooperative agreement and assuring that the volunteer paper work was promptly handled. Bruce Jones, MWAC volunteer coordinator assisted us in many ways and we tender our thanks to him. Jan Dial-Jones, Karin Roberts, Claudia Schaffer, and Lisa Stanley of the Collections i PEA RIDGE Management team aided us and tutored us in the fine art of collections cataloging, for which we are very grateful. Scott Stadler provided much needed mapping support in 2002, and Rolando Garza of Palo Alto Battlefield did the same for us in 2003. Don Arp assisted in the artifact processing during 2002. We wish to extend our sincere appreciation to William Volf, who took on the task of conducting the geophysical investigations, and Alicia Coles for her willingness to explore the potential for metallurgical examination of some of the artillery shell fragments. Their hard work made the project more complete. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgments .............................................................................................................i Table of Contents .............................................................................................................iii List of Figures ...................................................................................................................v 1.

The present Checklist covers the reports published in the Appendices to the Journals from 1850 to 1970. The Checklist is arranged by volume. The Appendices include reports produced by California executive agencies as well as the California Legislature. In a few instances, the reports include work by the United States federal government or the University of California. Each entry gives the volume number for the report in one of two formats: 1909(38th)(1) This first example indicates Appendix to the 1909 Journals, Volume 1, 38th session. The Legislature stopped assigning session numbers after the 57th session, 1947. For later years, the Appendices were published as separate series of Senate and Assembly volumes. For some years, only Senate volumes were published. 1955(S)(1) This second example indicates Appendix to the 1955 Senate Journals, Volume 1. 3 4 1850(1st)(Journal of the Legislature) McDougall, Lieut.

  • Rules and Options
    Rules and Options The author has attempted to draw as much as possible from the guidelines provided in the 5th edition Players Handbooks and Dungeon Master's Guide. Statistics for weapons listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide were used to develop the damage scales used in this book. Interestingly, these scales correspond fairly well with the values listed in the d20 Modern books. Game masters should feel free to modify any of the statistics or optional rules in this book as necessary. It is important to remember that Dungeons and Dragons abstracts combat to a degree, and does so more than many other game systems, in the name of playability. For this reason, the subtle differences that exist between many firearms will often drop below what might be called a "horizon of granularity." In D&D, for example, two pistols that real world shooters could spend hours discussing, debating how a few extra ounces of weight or different barrel lengths might affect accuracy, or how different kinds of ammunition (soft-nosed, armor-piercing, etc.) might affect damage, may be, in game terms, almost identical. This is neither good nor bad; it is just the way Dungeons and Dragons handles such things. Who can use firearms? Firearms are assumed to be martial ranged weapons. Characters from worlds where firearms are common and who can use martial ranged weapons will be proficient in them. Anyone else will have to train to gain proficiency— the specifics are left to individual game masters. Optionally, the game master may also allow characters with individual weapon proficiencies to trade one proficiency for an equivalent one at the time of character creation (e.g., monks can trade shortswords for one specific martial melee weapon like a war scythe, rogues can trade hand crossbows for one kind of firearm like a Glock 17 pistol, etc.).

They have received “Production Approval”, which means that as manufactured they are pre-approved for skirmish use. An arm or barrel which has been altered or modified must be submitted to the Small Arms Committee for individual approval and must be issued a Small Arms Committee approval card before it can be used in a skirmish. It is the responsibility of the skirmisher to find out if planned or executed changes might void the existing approval of an arm or a barrel, and to submit altered production arms and/or barrels to the Small Arms Committee for consideration. If you are considering making any changes to an approved arm or barrel it is good practice to discuss it first with a member of the Small Arms Committee. 2. The Small Arms Committee must individually approve custom-made arms for which the maker does not have production approval, and a Small Arms Committee individual approval card must be carried for that arm as evidence of that approval.

  • Coverage of Native Americans at the 1862 Battle of Pea Ridge, Arkansas
    THIS ACT OF BRUTAL SAVAGEISM 1 “This Act of Brutal Savageism”: Coverage of Native Americans at the 1862 Battle of Pea Ridge, Arkansas James E. Mueller, Ph.D. University of North Texas Abstract The clash between Confederates and Yankees at Pea Ridge, Arkansas, in 1862 is famous as the battle that saved Missouri for the Union, preventing a Southern army from a planned invasion to drive through the state and capture St. Louis. But a less well-known fact is that Pea Ridge was the only major battle of the Civil War in which Native American troops participated in significant numbers. About 1,000 Indians from the Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek and Cherokee tribes fought for the South at Pea Ridge, and some might have scalped dead and wounded Union troops. This article examines stories about the battle from a sample of both Northern and Southern newspapers with the intent to shed light on the coverage of Native Americans during the Civil War. The article concludes that the type and quantity of coverage of Indians at Pea Ridge depended upon whether the journalists were Southern or Northern. The article thus adds further support to the notion that the Civil War press served as an arm of the government, and the stories of war correspondents of both sides have to be evaluated with the knowledge that facts were often secondary to supporting the war effort. Keywords: Native Americans, Civil War, war reporting, Pea Ridge, Arkansas One of the most famous representations of the 1862 battle of Pea Ridge,1 Arkansas, is an 1889 Kurz and Allison print that shows Indians riding in a wild cavalry charge against masses of Union troops and artillery.
