About this product

Product Information

The 1862 battle of Pea Ridge in northwestern Arkansas was one of the largest Civil War engagements fought on the western frontier, and it dramatically altered the balance of power in the Trans-Mississippi. This study of the battle is based on research in archives from Connecticut to California and includes a pioneering study of the terrain of the sprawling battlefield, as well as an examination of soldiers' personal experiences, the use of Native American troops, and the role of Pea Ridge in regional folklore.

EXCELLENT, OUTSTANDING
This book is excellent, and William Shea is an excellent author. I love Civil War History, and having been to Pea Ridge and Priare Grove in Arkansas, and even belong to one of the re-enactment groups that fought in both those battles, and are mentioned in the books, made this book extra special to me. I would recommend it to anyone. It is wonderful and very enjoyable to read.
