The beautiful frontier town in the mountains is described in the first chapter, 1860: Fayetteville on the Eve of War. The second chapter, 1861: Confederate Days, tells of the Confederate hopes of nationhood and the shock of civil war reaching Northwest Arkansas. The third chapter, 1862: Destruction and Death, describes life in town as it was flooded with casualties of the battles of Pea Ridge in March and Prairie Grove in December. The fourth chapter, 1863: The Battle of Fayetteville, describes the return of Union troops, mostly Union men from Arkansas. There is a detailed description of the Battle of Fayetteville on April 18, 1863, a struggle between Arkansas soldiers in gray and blue, a true civil war battle. It includes a map of the battle, and the back cover of the book shows the imposition of the battle positions on a modern street map of the city. Chapter 4: An Occupied Town in an Endless War describes how the Confederate resurgence in the countryside isolated the Union-occupied town. The final chapter is 1865: Peace from the East. This is a second edition of the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 158\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.34 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 01, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47448304648370,"sku":"9780999396247","price":17.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/df6ea6e75a79a3b427198ae25e1d6d44.webp?v=1778752480","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/fayetteville-arkansas-in-the-civil-war-our-town-was-a-smouldering-ruin-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
