I think you are correct. I remember Tim going around in the library just like he was
worried, very intense, while doing the research.
Tim did do a presentation to a packed room for the Lonoke County Musuem at that time showing how the flow of the battles
and interactions had gone. He and his wife had drawn some fabulous maps, and as he talked, he marked them. It was taped
at the time, I believe, but I have no idea where the tape went.
I truly think the guy just did so much work on the project, he burned out.
I have the second edition and it was autographed at the time.
