This small masterpiece describes life and government in Arkansas during the War of the Rebellion. The author's prose is economical and the book is of eminently readable length; in fact, it's that rarest of birds, a book which could stand to be a little longer. His insights are considerable and his soft-spoken opinions well worth considering. He does a particularly good job of capturing contemporary opinion by sampling the era's overwrought newspapers and politicians. The closest thing to a flaw in the book is a slight but occasionally discernible pro-CSA slant. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
This book fills a long standing gap in state histories dealing with the period of the Civil War in the western frontier that was Arkansas. Based on newspaper articles, legal documents, letters, diaries, reminiscences, songs, and official military reports, Dougan's account provides a full picture of the political situation just prior to the war, and set the stage for the state's entry into the war despite the fate that only a third of the population supported secession.
