Very cool. Any history to your area you can speak about besides just saying cav camp?

As I understand, the 8th Missouri cavalry among various others
was camped south of of DEVALLS BLUFF Arkansas late in the war. The rail from there to Little Rock was the only track in the state at the time, so it was a strategic stronghold for the Union.

Looks like an early Dragoon spur and probably Confederate. What state are you located?

Good job!
