"Its smooth narrative style and revisionist interpretations of such
key topics as slavery, emancipation, and Radical Reconstruction
will guarantee it a place as a standard history of an important, if
often slighted, state. . . . Moneyhon's discussion of the war years
is one of the best short treatments available for any southern
state." —Arkansas Historical Quarterly "A major contribution to
nineteenth-century historiography." —American Historical Review
"Students of both southern and national history will welcome
Moneyhon's study. The research is sound, and excellent maps and
informative tables enhance the text." —Southwestern Historical
Quarterly
"Intriguing. . . . [Moneyhon] has tendered a penetrating portrait
of Arkansas based on a wide variety of primary sources, some of
which have been ignored entirely or little used. His narrative
style is crisp and inviting, and his careful analysis . . . is
perceptive and convincing." —Journal of American History
