Mark Christ also has an article in that issue about the Battle of Pine Bluff.

Generally a good articles except that Christ falls into a couple of same common mistakes made by other previous writters and mislocates a couple of the roads used by Greene and Newtons columns. Along with the general battle plan of the Confederates which, I believe, has been vastly misunderstood and therefore misinterpreted as being just a plain frontal assualt, but only became that when their original plan failed, because Powell Clayton having prior knowledge of this coming attack did not fall for the Confederate's ploy and trap.
