Tom now heads the Historical Interpretation Program at the University of Arkansas-Fort Smith and his footnotes alone are a great contribution to Fort Smith's Civil War history.<BR/><BR/>DaleDale Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756272433232589890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1233646528750691573.post-87387987493714771952008-05-20T21:48:00.000-05:002008-05-20T21:48:00.000-05:00Dale,I've only skimmed through the Civil War porti...Dale,<BR/>I've only skimmed through the Civil War portion of that one. BTW, is the CW content from the Fort Smith histories by Odie Faulk and Fred Patton worthwhile?<BR/><BR/>DrewDW@CWBAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00018056113264346047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1233646528750691573.post-90675262790042662642008-05-20T21:15:00.000-05:002008-05-20T21:15:00.000-05:00Drew,Thank you.

It is more an overview of the entire history of the fort, but is well worth the read.<BR/><BR/>DaleDale Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756272433232589890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1233646528750691573.post-46275503175331522182008-05-20T12:16:00.000-05:002008-05-20T12:16:00.000-05:00Dale,Thanks for the series.

I am reminded of Ed Bearss's series of articles for AHQ.<BR/><BR/>Nice work.<BR/><BR/>DrewDW@CWBAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00018056113264346047noreply@blogger.com
