  I participated in a re-enactment at Pea Ridge.  Afterwards I found out I had ancestors who fought at the battle on both sides.  It was a humbling experience.

  On a family camping trip when I was a five year old little girl, I put my finger in a bullet hole in the wall of Elk Horn Tavern and fell under the spell of the Battlefield of Pea Ridge as my father explained the battle to me. At that precise moment, my lifelong love of Civil War history and lore began. Now, some 65 years later, I’m still reading, studying, visiting and dreaming over the battles of that uniquely American war. Thank you for a superb video, bringing that day to life for me once again.

  Amazing podcast on Pea Ridge! I hope to see another episode on the lesser known battle of Poo Ridge, a truly horrifying day of m ass casualties. I live up Shitz Creek, just a few miles from the historic battlefield. Standing on the battlefield all these years later is truly...moving...you can almost smell the battle to this day.

  Pea Ridge is not far from the first Wal Mart. A pretty area.

  Thanks for doing this. I was born and raised in Fayetteville, so I know this battlefield well, but have never heard this story told so well. I'd love to see you cover Prairie Grove.

  Union Colonel Glennville Dodge suggestion to move his men northward and block the Bettonvile Detour Road with trees was a brilliant one.  I don’t think he even knew Confederates planned on moving south via that road but he seemed to have perfect intuition about the road’s importance.
