Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1863, this book has the immediacy, passion, and intimacy of its wartime context. It tells the remarkable story of Albert Webb Bishop, a New York lawyer turned Union soldier, who in 1862 accepted a commission as lieutenant colonel in a regiment of Ozark mountaineers. While maintaining Union control of northwest Arkansas, he collected stories of the social coercion, political secession, and brutal terrorism that scarred the region. His larger goal, however, was to popularize and inspire sympathy for the South's Unionists and to chronicle the triumph of Unionism in a Confederate state. His account points to the complex and divisive nature of Confederate society and in doing so provides a perspective that has long been absent from discussions of the Civil War.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Loyalty on the Frontier, or Sketches of Union Men of the South-West: With Incidents and Adventures in Rebellion on the Border While on duty at Elkhorn Tavern, Arkansas, in November, 1862, the preparation of the following pages was begun. We had no particular object in view, certainly no thought of authorship, but, as facts accumulated, they suggested a project and a plan, and as our leisure would admit, we wrote away. At Pea Ridge, our conveniences were limited. The only bouse at the Post was the old Elkhorn Tavern - two apartments and a "lean to" that served as a kitchen. Into this last we retreated, whenever we could, even for half an hour at a time, and taking position at one end of a tabic, while our contraband cook kneaded away at the other, endeavored to bring our thoughts into line. Our sanctum let in the light from above very freely, so much so that in rainy weather we were compelled to suspend operations altogether. At such a time, we would go into the camps or send for particular men, gathering thus the experiences that we have attempted to relate. Ordered to Prairie Grove a few days after the battle, we endeavored to prosecute our plan there, and to some extent succeeded. Coining finally to Fayetteville, we took up our quarters at a private house. Having access now to a choice library, to which we are indebted for an occasional quotation, and to "Webster's Unabridged," to settle our orthography, we continued the sketches. The President's proclamation of January 1, 1863, declared Arkansas in rebellion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

When General McCullough passed through Fayetteville, on his way to discomfiture and death at Pea Kidge, he expressed the wish, that North-western Arkansas was in a place, which we shall simply designate as more hot than holy. If character and calamity on the one hand, and the Bible on the other, can determine the post mortem condition of a human being, "Ben McCullough," whilom somewhat famous as a Texan Ranger, is sealed with a fate that polemics cannot modify, and God will never change. Rabid secessionists have always disliked North-western Arkansas. Though bordering on the Cherokee line, it has been for years the intellectual centre of the State, with Fayetteville as the point from which its intelligence) radiated. Settled principally by Kentuckians and Tennesseeans, whose early teachings, under Henry Clay and Andrew Jackson, gave to their politics life, and to their loyalty vigor, attachment to the Federal Union has, from its settlement, been the prevailing sentiment of ihis section; a result attributable, in no small degree, to the educational institutions of Fayetteville and vicinity. In the summer of 1839 the first school was established in Fayetteville. Its proprietress, Miss Sophia Sawyer, was well known and very favorably remembered by the early residents of Washington county. A lady of indomitable energy, her experiment soon expanded into the Fayetteville Female Seminary, at the head of which she continued for a number of years, and until declining health compelled the abandonment of her enterprise to the care of others. In 1842, Robert W. Mecklin, who had been for years a prominent State surveyor, opened a grammar school, three miles west of Fayetteville. Shortly afterward it became the Ozark...

Book excerpt: During the American Civil War, the western Trans-Mississippi frontier was host to harsh environmental conditions, irregular warfare, and intense racial tensions that created extraordinarily difficult conditions for both combatants and civilians. Matthew M. Stith's Extreme Civil War focuses on Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, and Indian Territory to examine the physical and cultural frontiers that challenged Confederate and Union forces alike. A disturbing narrative emerges where conflict indiscriminately beset troops and families in a region that continually verged on social and political anarchy. With hundreds of small fights disbursed over the expansive borderland, fought by civilians— even some women and children—as much as by soldiers and guerrillas, this theater of war was especially savage. Despite connections to the political issues and military campaigns that drove the larger war, the irregular conflict in this border region represented a truly disparate war within a war. The blend of violence, racial unrest, and frontier culture presented distinct challenges to combatants, far from the aid of governmental services. Stith shows how white Confederate and Union civilians faced forces of warfare and the bleak environmental realities east of the Great Plains while barely coexisting with a number of other ethnicities and races, including Native Americans and African Americans. In addition to the brutal fighting and lack of basic infrastructure, the inherent mistrust among these communities intensified the suffering of all citizens on America's frontier. Extreme Civil War reveals the complex racial, environmental, and military dimensions that fueled the brutal guerrilla warfare and made the Trans-Mississippi frontier one of the most difficult and diverse pockets of violence during the Civil War.

Download or read book Jayhawkers written by Bryce Benedict and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2012-11-19 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No person excited greater emotion in Kansas than James Henry Lane, the U.S. senator who led a volunteer brigade in 1861–1862. In fighting numerous skirmishes, liberating hundreds of slaves, burning portions of four towns, and murdering half a dozen men, Lane and his brigade garnered national attention as the saviors of Kansas and the terror of Missouri. This first book-length study of the “jayhawkers,” as the men of Lane’s brigade were known, takes a fresh look at their exploits and notoriety. Bryce Benedict draws on a wealth of previously unexploited sources, including letters by brigade members, to dramatically re-create the violence along the Kansas-Missouri border and challenge some of the time-honored depictions of Lane’s unit as bloodthirsty and indiscriminately violent. Bringing to life an era of guerillas, bushwhackers, and slave stealers, Jayhawkers also describes how Lane’s brigade was organized and equipped and provides details regarding staff and casualties. Assessing the extent to which the jayhawkers followed accepted rules of warfare, Benedict argues that Lane set a precedent for the Union Army’s eventual adoption of “hard” tactics toward civilians. An entertaining story rich in detail, Jayhawkers will captivate scholars and history enthusiasts as it sheds new light on the unfettered violence on this western fringe of the Civil War.
