In Response To: Re: Little Rock Arsenal ()

One of the things that makes me wonder is at about this same time (mid January 1861) the people on the Lower Arkansas River at Napolean and Pine Bluff began to stop steamboats on the river. The Sunflower and The Southwestern are siezed at Napolean and the S.H. Tucker at Pine Bluff. Rumors seem to be abounding about the garrison at Little Rock Arsenal are to be reenforced.

Governor Rector appointed an investigator especially to look into the rumors surrounding the S.H. Tucker, and supposedly Little Rock citizens gather on the docks at Little Rock to repell any troop on the S.H. Tucker. But when the S.H.Tucker is stopped at Pine Bluff the rumors are proven to be false. It would also seem that the people at Helena are also passing on information about boat movements.

Could all of this have been triggered by the "Star of the West" incident, in South Carolina, in early January?
