The Museum Shop

 

No visit to our museum would be complete without a stop in the Museum Shop. We have a wide variety of items no matter which side your loyalties fall on. Following are some of the unique items available in our Shop:

The Beat of the Drum

The Beat of the Drum relates the history of the camp from its beginnings as a bustling Civil War post from which troops, material and supplies were dispatched to frontier bases all over the Southwest, through decommissioning by the military in 1871. The book then chronicles the conversion of several of the buildings to a college campus, and the use of Junior Officers Quarters as a boarding house through two world wars. It concludes with the saving of that building from demolition and it's restoration to the lovely museum it is today.

Prisoners of the Civil War, The Story of Two Americans

This is a dual first person account, of two men in the Civil War - each from opposite sides who stayed in opposite prisons. It is the story of an Iowa farm boy who fought at Vicksburg, and the story of a Confederate Captain who was the first naval officer in the world to successfully attack and disable a ship using a submersible in a wartime act. Douglas Westfall is publisher of these two veterans' first-person historical accounts. The book contains a compilation of rare letters from Capt. William T. Glassell (Confederate States Navy) and Sgt. William H. H. Clayton (United States Army). This book is available at the Museum, or through mail order at www.SpecialBooks.com/prisoners.htm
