This portion of these Tales of the War begins following the evacuation of Little Rock in September 1863, and proceeds through the winter of 1863-1864. The highlight of the Chapter 1 is the little known "Hog Expedition" of January 1864, in which the Confederate cavalry scoured the Arkansas River bottom for hogs, cattle, sheep, and whatever animals they could find to feed the starving army, which was in winter camps. Chapter 2 brings to light the participation of the Arkansas and Missouri troops in the Red River Expedition of 1864. The final chapter of the this book covers the Camden Expedition from the time that the Union Army left Little Rock on March 23, until it returned to that city on May 2-3, 1864. This volume of the series is highly annotated, using a large number of sources, including every known modern work on the subjects presented. Included in this edition are several appendices with detailed Confederate Orders of Battle for the Battles of Pleasant Hill and Jenkins' Ferry, as well as Orders of Battle for the lesser, though still significant actions at Poison Springs and Marks' Mill. As in previous volumes, selected biographies are presented, with an assortment of correspondence from the principle personalities of the book, extended comments on the Red River and Camden Expeditions, plus a detailed index for easy reference.

The March to the River is the first detailed study of the campaign of Samuel R. Curtis’s Army of the Southwest following its important victory at the Battle of Pea Ridge, Arkansas (March 7-8, 1862). After the retreat of Earl Van Dorn’s Confederate army, General Curtis’s next obvious move was to capture Little Rock, the state capital. With the removal of almost all Confederate fighting forces from the state following the battle, Confederate authorities sought solutions to the menace of the Curtis’s army, which was occupying Batesville and Jacksonport and threatening Little Rock. The Northern army, after an epic march through inhospitable country, was faced with numerous problems of supplying these outposts in the face of rising attacks by both guerrillas and newly-formed Confederate regulars. Ultimately, Curtis had to abandon his attempt at Little Rock and led his army through to Helena, arriving in mid-July. Robert Schultz has thoroughly researched this ground-breaking study in private archives, period newspaper accounts, published and unpublished soldiers’ diaries, letters, and memoirs, and the Army and Navy Official Records. Robert G. Schultz is a retired chemist and history teacher who has written and spoken extensively about the Civil War in Missouri and the Trans-Mississippi.

When the ground of your life has been turned over, you are ready receive these seeds.These Zen seeds are teachings that I received from Dainin Katagiri, a Zen monk who came from Japan to the U.S. He ultimately founded the Minnesota Zen Meditation Center in Minneapolis during the 1970's. I began Zen meditation practice there when my own life-ground was being turned over. I was ready to receive the seeds of Zen practice and teachings.Buddhist teachings are often shrouded in language that is not always easy to understand. The teachings in this book are for ordinary people. They originally appeared as articles in the Decorah, Iowa newspaper. They are human life stories. I hope they will speak to you. They are Zen Seeds for Fallow Ground.

It can be said that the American Civil War has drawn more interest and historical scholarship than any other event in our nation’s past. The War as it was fought west of the Mississippi River has perhaps been the least covered of all the aspects of the conflict. General J. O. Shelby at Clarendon, Arkansas: The Capture and Destruction of the USS Queen City addresses the cauldron of lawlessness generated by deserters from both sides behind enemy lines, while highlighting the destruction of the USS Queen City by Gen. Joseph O. Shelby. This 1864 event on the lower White River, 50 miles from the Mississippi River, marks the only sinking of a Federal warship in Arkansas waters. Considered one of the best Confederate cavalrymen to operate in the Trans-Mississippi, Shelby led his “Iron Brigade” on one of the longest cavalry raids of the Civil War.
