Page vii Foreword In summing up his Civil War experiences in the hospitals of the North, American poet Walt Whitman prophetically observed: "Future years will never know the seething hell and the black infernal background of countless minor scenes and interiors (not the official surface-courteousness of the Generals, not the few great battles) of the Secession war; and it is best they should notthe real war will never get in the books." The war, Whitman reminded us, "was not a quadrille in a ball-room."1 The single object of this monograph is to prove Whitman wrong by putting Arkansas's real war into a book. Over the years every campaign has been fought and refought. Battles have been studied, generals' lives have been written, and any number of interesting arguments about various phases of the war have been explored. Yet it has been fifty years since D.Y. Thomas wrote of the experiences of Arkansas in the great Civil War. Much new material has come to light, while some interpretations need revision. That is the justification for this book.
