Description: "This collection of essays represents the best recent history written on Civil War activity in Arkansas. It illuminates the complexity of such issues as guerrilla warfare, Union army policies, and the struggles between white and black civilians and soldiers and also shows that the war years were a time of great change and personal conflict for the citizens of the state, despite the absence of "great" battles or armies.".

"All the essays, which have been previously published in scholarly journals, have been revised to reflect recent scholarship in the field. Each selection explores a military or social dimension of the war that has been largely ignored or which is unique to the war in Arkansas."--BOOK JACKET.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p.   ) and index.
