When I began my research into the engagement and the officers and men that fought there some 16 years ago... I could not even imagine such a site as has been established on the north half of the old Toothman farm... Many great photos of the events can be found at the park's web page under the Related Content section: http://mostateparks.com/park/battle-island-mound-state-historic-site.
Pictures I took on Monday morning, 10/29 (the 150th anniversary of the first engagement of the Civil War fought by an African American Regiment), before heading back to Texas can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/30649351@N08/sets/72157631889810327/
I hope followers of this board take the opportunity to visit the Battle of Island Mound State Historic Site... you won't be disappointed.
