I am the editor of this book and I would like to thank you for buying it. I put this together because I am researching the War in eastern Arkansas, especially the actions at Cotton Plant and Hughes Ferry on the L'Angulle, and found the articles from contemporary newspapers to be fascinating and decided I wanted my research in book form and the easiest way to do it was through Amazon. I do not expect to sell many copies, but I have put it on Amazon Kindle at the link below and it can be borrowed by anyone with Kindle for free. I am getting the 2nd volume completed and hope to have it out next month.
