#42 Pea Ridge NB

Pea Ridge National Military park is located in Northwest Arkansas in May of 1862. Like Wilson's Creek, fought a year before, the battle was a Union victory and important is keeping Missouri as part of the Union. The above photo is of The Elkhorn Tavern, which was at the intersection of the area's two main roads and where the battle broke out. I should note that this is one of the parks where I found the Rangers especially helpful.
