Civil War Arkansas, 1863: The Battle for a StateThe 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.

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.

Privacy is what I was looking for and that’s what I got !!!
Color: Black, Size: Wheel-132''
Right now, I am in a shared room and it is perfect because I can block out and have some privacy for my clients. I purchased the six panel and realized it was too much so I was able to only set up three panels and it was just enough room for my clients to walk through to my side, but also have a sense of privacy. It’s not heavy at all very lightweight but durable at the same time. Because of the wheels, I’m able to easily glide it across the floor. This is a really good product. I didn’t need my husband to help me set it up though LOL

Totalmente Recomendable
Color: Black, Size: Wheel-132''
Es fácil de armar por qué las piezas vienen bien señalizadas y eso facilita armario , Es alto, el materia es resistente y el hierro es de negro opaco que hace que luzca bien, la tela resistente no pasa la luz, las ruedas giran muy bien y son angostos y es liviano de fácil de manipular, me encantó y estoy feliz de mi compra ! No me faltó ninguna pieza y ya eso es mucho también !!

The product arrived and in good condition but I can’t assemble the tube A to tube B because i still have to deburr the inside part of the hole. They did not clean the drilled holes.
