Download or read book Civil War Arkansas 1863 written by Mark K. Christ and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2011-12-04 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arkansas River Valley is one of the most fertile regions in the South. During the Civil War, the river also served as a vital artery for moving troops and supplies. In 1863 the battle to wrest control of the valley was, in effect, a battle for the state itself. In spite of its importance, however, this campaign is often overshadowed by the siege of Vicksburg. Now Mark K. Christ offers the first detailed military assessment of parallel events in Arkansas, describing their consequences for both Union and Confederate powers. Christ analyzes the campaign from military and political perspectives to show how events in 1863 affected the war on a larger scale. His lively narrative incorporates eyewitness accounts to tell how new Union strategy in the Trans-Mississippi theater enabled the capture of Little Rock, taking the state out of Confederate control for the rest of the war. He draws on rarely used primary sources to describe key engagements at the tactical level—particularly the battles at Arkansas Post, Helena, and Pine Bluff, which cumulatively marked a major turning point in the Trans-Mississippi. In addition to soldiers’ letters and diaries, Christ weaves civilian voices into the story—especially those of women who had to deal with their altered fortunes—and so fleshes out the human dimensions of the struggle. Extensively researched and compellingly told, Christ’s account demonstrates the war’s impact on Arkansas and fills a void in Civil War studies.

This book was released on 2018-01-08 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Arkansas joined the Confederate States of America in 1861, not all of its citizens supported secession. Arkansas formed some 48 infantry regiments to serve in the Confederate Army, but also formed another 11 regiments that served in the Union Army. The 2nd Arkansas Cavalry was organized at Helena, Arkansas and Pilot Knob, Missouri and mustered into Federal service in July 1862. It was made up of men from both Arkansas and Missouri. The regiment mostly saw quite a bit of scouting action during the war, but they were also engaged in a couple of fairly large battles. The regiment included 2 women, Mandy C. Johnson, F&S and Sarah Minton in Company D. Nearly 40 men were killed in an ambush at Richland Creek on May 3, 1864. Our records indicate 203 men died in the war. The regiment was mustered out August 20, 1865. Men from Phillips County, Arkansas and Iron County, Missouri enlisted in this regiment. Company D was mustered in February 19, 1864 at Springfield, Missouri by Captain John C. Bailey and was comprised generally of personnel from Newton and Carroll Counties in Arkansas. Battles: Jefferson City, Booneville, Lexington, Big Blue, Osage and Newtonia.

Download or read book I Do Wish This Cruel War Was Over written by Mark K. Christ and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I Do Wish this Cruel War Was Over collects diaries, letters, and memoirs excerpted from their original publication in the Arkansas Historical Quarterly to offer a first-hand, ground-level view of the war's horrors, its mundane hardships, its pitched battles and languid stretches, even its moments of frivolity. Readers will find varying degrees of commitment and different motivations among soldiers on both sides, along with the perspective of civilians. In many cases, these documents address aspects of the war that would become objects of scholarly and popular fascination only years after their initial appearance: the guerrilla conflict that became the "real war" west of the Mississippi; the "hard war" waged against civilians long before William Tecumseh Sherman set foot in Georgia; the work of women in maintaining households in the absence of men; and the complexities of emancipation, which saw African Americans winning freedom and sometimes losing it all over again. Altogether, these first-person accounts provide an immediacy and a visceral understanding of what it meant to survive the Civil War in Arkansas.
