The Elkins’ Ferry Battlefield, which straddles the Clark/Nevada County line on the Little Missouri River, was the site of an April 3-4, 1864, action during the Camden Expedition. The owner has agreed to sell 448 acres of the battlefield for $950,000. Pledges totaling $625,000 have been made toward the purchase and the remaining $325,000 needs to be well on the way to being secured before the owner will sign a contract.
Donations can be made at http://fundly.com/elkin-s-ferry-battlefield-preservation-effort or sent to the Nevada County Depot and Museum, 403 W 1st St. S., Prescott AR 71857; specify that the donation is for the Elkins’ Ferry Battlefield.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to preserve this hallowed ground!
