John, I’ll take a look and see if there were any other photos I didn’t post.

Hi Harry,

I work here at the South Mountain State Battlefield as the Park Historian and I am also the Historian for the Monterey Pass Battlefield site in Pa. I am working on designing an Interpretive Center for Monterey Pass Battlefield and I love those bronze replicas of the detritus of battle. Do you have any other photographs you can share or even send to me. I would like to do something simular for the wreckages of wagons that were attacked by the Union Cavalry.

Great write-up. I’m metal detecting in the area and actually sitting in the parking lot about to go in and browse the bookstore. HH

No problem, Art. I didn’t get over to Iuka, so I don’t know what has been done there.

Thanks for stopping by, and come back often. And call me Harry.

Set up “base camp” in Downtown Motel in Corinth in June 2000 on my 2nd of many ACW treks. Drove up to Shiloh, down to Brice’s Crossroads, drove through Iuka looking for markers, any sign of that engagement; found zilch! Anybody know of any progress in interpreting Iuka? Do need to come back to the northeasternest tip of Mississippi for another visit, expecially for the new VC. Many thanks for the preview, BR!

Harry I enjoyed your article on Corinth. I was this last June but of course Tom was off at a meeting. I love the bronzes items outside. It is a wonderful place to visit. I found several books in the bookstore I couldn’t leave without.

Mannie:

That sounds like a capital idea to me. But of course there is no more monumentation allowed at Antietam. Maybe you could turn the photo on the wall of the VC into a diorama of sorts?

BTW, I hope you weren’t too offended by my “prettiest staff” award. You and John are mighty purty too, OK?

Drew:

If you look closely, you can see that the bronzes are attached to some sort of metallic base in the grass. I don’t know how heavy they are,, but I understand the NPS has hired the ghost of Buford Pusser to guard the grounds so it shouldn’t be a problem.
