Civil War battlefield
A peaceful blanket of snow covers the hallowed ground of Pea Ridge National Military Park in northwest Arkansas. Approximately 26,000 soldiers engaged in combat on March 7 and 8, 1862, to decide the fate of Missouri and the western part of the country. The 4,300-acre site is now protected by the National Park Service, which calls it "one of the most pivotal Civil War battles and is the most intact Civil War battlefield in the U.S."
